1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
New King James Version
A Brotherly and Orderly Life
9 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for (A)you yourselves are taught by God (B)to love one another; 10 and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, (C)that you increase more and more; 11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, (D)to mind your own business, and (E)to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, 12 (F)that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

American Standard Version
9 But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another; 10 for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more; 11 and that ye [a]study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you; 12 that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.
