1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

9But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another.

10Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers throughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more.

11Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

12Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
