1 Peter 4:15

The Scriptures 1998

For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or doer of evil, or as a meddler.

See the chapter Copy

For we hear of some among you walking disorderly, not working at all, but are busybodies.

and to make it your ambition to live peaceably, and to attend to your own, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

Moreover, they learn to be idle, going about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, speaking what is improper.

For it is better, if it is the desire of Elohim, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

for which I suffer hardship, as a criminal, unto chains, but the Word of Elohim is not chained.

“Blessed are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake.

“If the thief is found breaking in, and he is smitten so that he dies, there is no guilt for his bloodshed.

But even if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not fear their threats, neither be troubled.”
