6And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.
7Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.
8Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
9But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;
10And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;
11And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;
12That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
