1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

LEB

NIV

9 But concerning brotherly love, I do not have need to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.
10 for indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to progress even more,
10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,
11 and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to {your own business}, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you,
12 so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.
12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
