A Brotherly and Orderly Life

⁹ But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for ^(A)you yourselves are taught by God ^(B)to love one another; ¹⁰ and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, ^(C)that you increase more and more; ¹¹ that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, ^(D)to mind your own business, and ^(E)to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
