Don't you have better things to do with your time? (2 Thessalonians 3:11-12)

2 Thessalonians 3:11-12

King James Version (KJV)

 

¹¹ For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

¹² Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

 

 

A "busybody" is a gossip. An idle person ends up filling his or her time with less than helpful activities like gossip. Rumors and hearsay are tantalizing, exciting to hear, and make us feel like insiders. But they tear people down. If you often find your nose in other people's business, you may be under-employed. Look for a task to do for Christ or for your family, and get to work.
