6. and that no man take advantage of and defraud his brother in any matter, because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7. For God has not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.
8. Therefore he that despises does not despise man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
9. As concerning brotherly love, you do not need me to write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
10. And indeed, you do have love for all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, that you increase more and more.
11. Learn to be calm, and to conduct your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,
12. so that you may walk honestly toward those who are outsiders and that you may lack nothing.
13. But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope.
14. For if we believe that Jesus died and arose again, so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
