1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
Legacy Standard Bible
9 Now concerning (A)love of the brothers, 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 do practice it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to (E)excel still 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 commanded you, 12 so that you will (I)walk properly toward (J)outsiders and [a](K)not be in any need.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
Common English Bible
9 You don’t need us to write about loving your brothers and sisters because God has already taught you to love each other. 10 In fact, you are doing loving deeds for all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. Now we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to do so even more. 11 Aim to live quietly, mind your own business, and earn your own living, just as I told you. 12 That way you’ll behave appropriately toward outsiders, and you won’t be in need.
