1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

New Century Version

⁹ We do not need to write you about having love for your Christian family, because God has already taught you to love each other. ¹⁰ And truly you do love the Christians in all of Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, now we encourage you to love them even more.

¹¹ Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Take care of your own business, and do your own work as we have already told you. ¹² If you do, then people who are not believers will respect you, and you will not have to depend on others for what you need.
