In seeking to ensure that Christians are persecuted for Christ Peter charges them NOT to find themselves persecuted for murder, theft or doing evil. To this list Peter adds the charge of being a "troublesome meddler". This is the odd one out and I would be interested to know what he intends.
Is there anything from the Greek, context or "the analogy of faith" that sheds light on this particular sin? I am at a loss to see what is intended.
If he intends gossip - why not say so. That would surely be a matter of church discipline rather than judicial pronouncement which seems intended. I have my own suggestion but would like to hear from others before influencing their thoughts.
