Bible verse
And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
1 Thessalonians 4:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Thessalonians 4.
6 and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
8 Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
9 Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
10 And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
11 and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.
12 Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.
13 Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
