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 in the entire region of Macedonia.(C) But we encourage you, brothers, to do so 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 walk properly[b](F) in the presence of outsiders[c] and not be dependent on anyone.[d](G)
