1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
World English Bible
9 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, 10 for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more; 11 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you; 12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

Loving and Working
9 About brotherly love: You don’t need me to write you because you yourselves are taught by God(A) to love one another.(B) 10 In fact, you are doing this toward all the brothers and sisters in the entire region of Macedonia.(C) But we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to do this even more, 11 to seek to lead a quiet life,(D) to mind your own business,[a] and to work(E) with your own hands, as we commanded you, 12 so that you may behave properly(F) in the presence of outsiders and not be dependent on anyone.[b](G)
