10 for indeed (A)you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to (B)excel still more, 11 and to make it your ambition (C)to lead a quiet life and (D)attend to your own business and (E)work with your hands, just as we commanded you, 12 so that you will [a](F)behave properly toward (G)outsiders and [b](H)not be in any need.

1 Thessalonians 4:10-12
New International Version
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.
