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

⁹ Now on the topic of brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another. ¹⁰ And indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers and sisters in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, ¹¹ to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you. ¹² In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.
