1 Thessalonians 4:9-13

English Standard Version

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.
