¹¹ Now may ^(A)our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, ^(B)direct our way to you, ¹² and may the Lord ^(C)make you increase and abound in love ^(D)for one another and for all, as we do for you, ¹³ so that he may ^(E)establish your hearts blameless in holiness before ^(F)our God and Father, at ^(G)the coming of our Lord Jesus ^(H)with all his saints.

⁹ Now concerning ^(A)brotherly love ^(B)you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been ^(C)taught by God ^(D)to love one another, ¹⁰ for that indeed is what ^(E)you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to ^(F)do this more and more, ¹¹ and to aspire ^(G)to live quietly, and ^(H)to mind your own affairs, and ^(I)to work with your hands, as we instructed you, ¹² so that you may ^(J)walk properly before ^(K)outsiders and be dependent on no one.

The Coming of the Lord

¹³ But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, ^(L)that you may not grieve as others do ^(M)who have no hope.
