1 PETER 4:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.”
If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler — the sharp distinction between legitimate suffering (for faith) and deserved suffering (for crime) establishes that believers' persecution should not result from criminal behavior. The term 'meddler' (allotrioepiskopos, literally 'overseer of others' affairs') suggests busybody interference in others' business.
