Excerpt from Study to Be Quiet
There were special reasons for writing thus to the Thessalonian Christians. In the New Testa ment there are three separate words meaning to be quiet. The one Paul uses in writing to the Thessa lonians means a general condition of mind, a state of heart. We infer that there were some restless Christians in Thessalonica. Some indeed deserved, as he thought, the name busybodz'es, persons who inclined to make religion a matter of noise and agitation.* Some perhaps who had neglected the regulation of themselves and the discharge of their own duty in running about to do many things. This is evidently the point of his frank injunction, that ye study to be Quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands. It is the emphasis of the deeply personal quality in religion. It is a call to them to build themselves up in their inner life, and to do their own duty.
