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

9 As to brotherly love, I have no occasion to write about it, God himself having instructed you to love one another. 10 this indeed you practise towards all our brethren in Macedonia; and we only exhort you to advance more and more therein: 11 to study your own quiet, to mind your own affairs, and follow some handicraft trade, as we recommended it to you: 12 so that your way of life may stand fair to the world, and prevent your being dependent upon any man.
