9 Now about brotherly love¹ we do not need to write to you,² for you yourselves have been taught by God³ to love each other.⁴ 10 And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia.⁵ Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.⁶ 11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands,⁷ just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders⁸ and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
