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.

9 Now concerning (A)brotherly love (B)you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been (C)taught by God (D)to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what (E)you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to (F)do this more and more, 11 and to aspire (G)to live quietly, and (H)to mind your own affairs, and (I)to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may (J)walk properly before (K)outsiders and be dependent on no one.
