1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 Now as to the (A)love of the brothers and sisters, you (B)have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are (C)taught by God to love one another; 10 for indeed (D)you practice it toward all the brothers and sisters who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to (E)excel even more, 11 and to make it your ambition (F)to lead a quiet life and (G)attend to your own business and (H)work with your hands, just as we instructed you, 12 so that you will [a](I)behave properly toward (J)outsiders and [b](K)not be in any need.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
International Standard Version
9 Now you do not need anyone to write to you about brotherly love, since you have been taught by God to love each other. 10 In fact, you are showing love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia, but we urge you, brothers, to keep on doing this even more. 11 Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may win the respect of outsiders, and have need of nothing.
