¶ See that none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake.
and that ye study to be quiet, and to meddle with your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you:
We have heard say no doubt that there are some which walk among you inordinately, and work not at all, but are busybodies.
And also they learn to go from house to house idle, yee not idle only, but also trifling and busybodies, speaking things which are not comely.
wherein I suffer trouble as an evil doer, even unto bonds. But the word of God was not bound.
notwithstanding happy are ye if ye suffer for righteousness' sake. Nevertheless fear not though they seem terrible unto you, neither be troubled:
¶ It is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
