1 Thessalonians 4:11 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4

9 Pour ce qui est de l’amour fraternel, vous n’avez pas besoin qu’on vous en écrive; car vous avez vous-mêmes appris de Dieu à vous aimer les uns les autres,

10 et c’est aussi ce que vous faites envers tous les frères dans la Macédoine entière. Mais nous vous exhortons, frères, à abonder toujours plus dans cet amour,

11 et à mettre votre honneur à vivre tranquilles, à vous occuper de vos propres affaires, et à travailler de vos mains, comme nous vous l’avons recommandé,

12 en sorte que vous vous conduisiez honnêtement envers ceux du dehors, et que vous n’ayez besoin de personne.

13 Nous ne voulons pas, frères, que vous soyez dans l’ignorance au sujet de ceux qui dorment, afin que vous ne vous affligiez pas comme les autres qui n’ont point d’espérance.
