7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, abut in holiness.
8 aTherefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, bwho has also given us His Holy Spirit.
A Brotherly and Orderly Life
9 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for ayou yourselves are taught by God bto love one another;
10 and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, athat you increase more and more;
11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, ato mind your own business, and bto work with your own hands, as we commanded you,
12 athat you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
The Comfort of Christ’s Coming
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen1 asleep, lest you sorrow aas others bwho have no hope.
14 For aif we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him bthose who sleep in Jesus.
