1 Thessalonians 4:10-12
New English Translation

10 And indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers and sisters[a] in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,[b] 11 to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you. 12 In this way you will live[c] a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.[d]
