10 In fact, you are doing this toward all the brothers in the entire region of Macedonia.(A) But we encourage you, brothers, to do so even more, 11 to seek to lead a quiet life,(B) to mind your own business,[a] and to work(C) with your own hands, as we commanded you, 12 so that you may walk properly[b](D) in the presence of outsiders[c] and not be dependent on anyone.[d](E)

10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia.(A) Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,(B) 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands,(C) just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders(D) and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
