1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

New International Reader's Version

⁹ We don’t need to write to you about your love for one another. God himself has taught you to love one another. ¹⁰ In fact, you do love all God’s family all around Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to love one another more and more. ¹¹ And do everything you can to live a quiet life. You should mind your own business. And work with your hands, just as we told you to. ¹² Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won’t have to depend on anyone.
