THE EPISTLE OF 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4:9-10 (6 of 11)

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.

After a strong rebuke to those who may have been
involved in immorality or a strong rebuke as a
preventative measure to keep them from immorality,
Paul brings forth words of encouragement to the body
