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

⁹ Now as to brotherly love, you have no need of anyone's writing you, for you have yourselves been taught by God to love one another, ¹⁰ as you are practicing it toward all the brothers all over Macedonia. We beg you, brothers, to continue to live better and better; ¹¹ also keep up your ambition to live quietly, to practice attending to your own business and to work with your own hands, as we directed you, ¹² so that you may live influentially with the outsiders, and not be dependent on anybody.
