1 Thessalonians 4:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedo′nia. But we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more, ¹¹ to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you;^{[a] 12} so that you may command the respect of outsiders, and be dependent on nobody.
