1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 - Affirmation Of Continuing Love
9 You do not need to have anyone write to you about brotherly love, for you have yourselves been taught by God to love one another, 10 and you are doing it to all the brothers all over Macedonia. But we do entreat you, brothers, to surpass yourselves 11 in striving to live quietly and mind your own affairs, and work with your hands, as we directed you, 12 so that you may have the respect of the outsiders, and not be dependent upon anybody.
