1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 - Affirmation Of Continuing Love

⁹ But concerning brotherly love, I do not have need to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, ¹⁰ for indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to progress even more, ¹¹ and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to {your own business}, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you, ¹² so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.
