Context of 1 Thessalonians 4:10

8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given to us his Holy Spirit. 9But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another. And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; 11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are outside the church, and that ye may have need of nothing.
