King James Version (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 4:9

“But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.”

Verse in context — 1 Thessalonians 4

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

Encouragement in faith and hope of Christ’s return.
