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
New Living Translation

9 But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other,[a] for God himself has taught you to love one another. 10 Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers[b] throughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more.

11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. 12 Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
