1 Peter 4:15
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.”
κλέπτης
One who takes secretly, cunningly — what does not belong to him. Jesus contrasts the thief directly with Himself. The thief comes to drain and destroy life. Jesus comes to give it — not just life, but life overflowing. Know who is at the door.
