1 Thessalonians 4:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ ·So [Therefore] the person who ·refuses to obey [disregards; rejects; despises] this teaching is not simply ·disobeying [disregarding; rejecting; despising] ·a human being [human authority], but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

⁹ We do not need to write you about ·having love for your Christian family [^Lbrotherly love], because God has already taught you to love each other. ¹⁰ And truly you do love the ·Christians [^Lbrothers (and sisters)] in all of Macedonia [1:7]. Now we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to ·love them [excel; abound; v. 1] even more.
