1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 - Affirmation Of Continuing Love
9 As to love for the Brethren there is no need to write to you; for you have yourselves been taught by God to love one another; 10 And indeed you do act in this spirit towards all the Brethren throughout Macedonia. Yet, Brothers, we urge you to still further efforts. 11 Make it your ambition to live quietly, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we directed you; 12 So that your conduct may win respect from those outside the Church, and that you may not want for anything.
