1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]But as touching brotherly love, ye need not that I write unto you: (A)for ye are taught of God to love one another.
10 Yea, and that thing verily ye do unto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia: but we beseech you brethren, that ye increase more and more,
11 [b]And that ye study to be quiet, and to meddle with your own business, [c]and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.
12 That ye may behave yourselves honestly toward them that are without, and that nothing be lacking unto you.
