Most modern theologians do not believe that the phrase "Mind your own business" is of direct biblical derivation,[citation needed] though something similar appears in the bible where St. Paul tells the church of Thessaloniki about this manner of living in his instructions as a way of Christian life (I Thessalonians 4:11). The Greek phrase is πράσσειν τὰ ἴδια, which translates as "manage yourself".[1]
