More thoughts on Busybodies

When I was reading some commentaries on 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15, I came across this note from J. Vernon McGee:

People in the church ought to withdraw from troublemakers in the church. However, many people more or less court their favor, because they don't want those people to talk about them, knowing they have vicious tongues. But withdrawing from the gossips would be the best thing that could happen in many churches. ~J. Vernon McGee

Rings true.
