1 Thessalonians 4:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ In fact, you are showing love to all the Christians throughout the province of Macedonia. We encourage you as believers to excel in love even more. ¹¹ Also, make it your goal to live quietly, do your work, and earn your own living, as we ordered you. ¹² Then your way of life will win respect from those outside ⌞the church⌟, and you won’t have to depend on anyone else for what you need.
