1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

9. You don’t need us to write about loving your brothers and sisters because God has already taught you to love each other.

10. In fact, you are doing loving deeds for all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. Now we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to do so even more.

11. Aim to live quietly, mind your own business, and earn your own living, just as I told you.

12. That way you’ll behave appropriately toward outsiders, and you won’t be in need.
