“又要立志过安静的生活，办自己的事，亲手作工，正如我们从前吩咐过你们，”
帖撒罗尼迦前书 4:11
“and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you,”
1 Thessalonians 4:11
Sometimes it’s best not to poke around in other people’s business. That’s especially true in relationships with fellow believers in Jesus.
We’re to pray for others and seek by God’s grace to share the Scriptures, and occasionally we may be called to offer a gentle word of correction.
But learning to live a quiet life and not meddling into others’ lives is important. It becomes an example to those who are now outside God’s family (v. 12). Our calling is to “love each other” (v. 9).
