1 Thessalonians 4:10
And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
The believers at Thessalonica already practiced brotherly love toward all the Christians throughout Macedonia. Yet they were urged to keep increasing more and more in that love. Its surrounding instructions also call believers to live quietly, to attend to their own work, to labor with their hands, to behave honorably toward outsiders, and to be self-supporting. These words are to be put into practice, and those who do what the Word says show by their lives that they work with Christ.
