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.
