- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Nemo autem vestrum patiatur ut homicida, aut fur, aut maledicus, aut alienorum appetitor.
- Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)
- μὴ γάρ τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεὺς ἢ κλέπτης ἢ κακοποιὸς ἢ ὡς ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος·
Haydock's commentary
Or a railer.2 The Greek here signifies one that does evil, or a malefactor.
Or as coveting the goods of others.3 The Greek rather signifies one curiously prying into the affairs of others, which Protestants translate a busy body. (Witham)
2 Maledicus, kakopoios, malefactor.
3 Alienorum appetitor, allotrioepiskopos, aliorum inspector.
