(NIV)
We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
(ESV)
For we
hear that
some among you walk in
idleness,
not busy at
work,
but busybodies.
(NIV)
Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to.
(ESV)
Besides that, they
learn to be
idlers,
going about from house to
house,
and not only idlers,
but also gossips and busybodies,
saying what they
should not.
