4:15–16

What Peter says in these verses is similar to what he said in 2:20.

4:15a–b

meddler: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as meddler occurs only here in the New Testament. Therefore commentators do not entirely agree about its meaning. It appears to have the general meaning of “someone who causes trouble” or “someone who causes trouble by interfering in other people’s business.” Other ways to translate this word include:

mischief-maker (Revised Standard Version)
-or-
troublemaker (NET Bible)
