9 Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. (I Thessalonians 4)
The writers have commented on and complimented the love the Thessalonians were demonstrating to one another. They needed to keep it up, but they also needed (and we as well) to spread it wider. Love means that we pursue peace in the body of Christ; love means that we are not a nosey gossips; love means we work hard so theat we have something to give fellow believers in need. We never can get to the point that we love too much.
