9 Now concerning brotherly love ^myou have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been ⁿtaught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live ^oquietly, and to ^pmind your own affairs, and to ^qwork with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and ^rbe dependent on no one.

14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the ^vidle,¹ encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be ^wpatient with them all.
