Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
