"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business ... so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders ..." 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NIV)
Live your life so as not to cause problems for others. Do not inquire or talk about the affairs of others as a gossip, but take care that you correct your own sinful ways. Live your life in such a manner that the unsaved will respect you for being true to your principals and so that you provide a good example for others to follow.
Having a genuine Christian concern for your fellow man is a good thing, but focusing on the sins of others is not helpful. Don't beat people with your "Christianity", live in a way that shows others what to do and how to behave.
