1 Thessalonians 4:8-11
New American Standard Bible
9Now as to the love of the brothers and sisters, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;
10for indeed you practice it toward all the brothers and sisters who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to excel even more,
11and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we instructed you,
King James Version
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
