anyway I got a new spread & I've been doing work on it for the past 2 months and from time to time my family will go over to see the latest work ... anyway, she's taken this opportunity to flat-out invade my privacy & go thru all my shit when I'm not home (WTF right?)
Well, I puff on 420 and apparently she looked in my medicine cabinet & saw my fairly large selection of So Cal's finest ... and like the good rat she is went to my parents & told them they should have a talk with me about my drug problem. Well, my parents called laughing saying they couldn't believe what a rat she was & couldn't believe the nerve she had to go thru my shit (my parents & I have a great relationship and respect I'm a grown man living my own life).
So I text her telling her that I heard about her invasion of my privacy especially in my own house & that if she had something to talk about she knew how to reach me ... and to otherwise mind her own biz. She hasn't responded but I know she'll come with some Bible bullshit and so I want to have a verse ready for her showing the bible even says to mind her own business ....
so my question for all the gfy preachers ... is there a verse I can quote?

I'm here to help.
Try Luke 6:41 - 6:42 on for size:
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
(I prefer "log" as the translation over "plank," myself, but this will do in a pinch.)
This is typically cited when there's overt hypocrisy taking place (which would only be the case if your sister smoked weed, too, I suppose) but it is also used in a broader sense to mean something like "don't criticize your brother's foibles when you suffer from greater foibles yourself."
"Let he who is without sin among you cast the first stone" is always a good one to bust out, too.
