1 Thessalonians 4:11 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4

9 Mas acerca de la caridad fraterna no habéis menester que os escriba: porque vosotros mismos habéis aprendido de Dios que os améis los unos á los otros;

10 Y también lo hacéis [así] con todos los hermanos que están por toda Macedonia. Empero os rogamos, hermanos, que abundéis más;

11 Y que procuréis tener quietud, y hacer vuestros negocios, y obréis de vuestras manos de la manera que os hemos mandado;

12 A fin de que andéis honestamente para con los extraños, y no necesitéis de nada.

13 Tampoco, hermanos, queremos que ignoréis acerca de los que duermen, que no os entristezcáis como los otros que no tienen esperanza.
