MYOB mind your own business
We all know a few people who can benefit from this free advice. Pastors, Parents, Teachers, Therapists all recommend a good dose of this medicine from time to time.
The Bible directly tells people to
“mind your own business” in
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12.
In these verses,
the Apostle Paul encourages believers to:
- Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.
- Mind your own business.
- Work with your own hands.
Why does the Bible say this?
The passage outlines three main reasons
for this advice:
- To be self-reliant:
Focusing on your own responsibilities allows you to take care of yourself without being a burden or dependent on others.
- To earn respect:
Minding your own business and avoiding idle gossip or meddling earns the respect of “outsiders” (people outside the faith).
- To show love:
By taking care of your own duties, you respect other people’s boundaries and live peacefully within the community.
