What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
"One who meddles in others' affairs" is he who is excessively curious about the business of others in order to have occasion for slander. But such an occupation is characteristic of an impure soul, one that is villainous and ready for every evil.
Oecumenius
"even as a bigmouth," who curiously scrutinizes what belongs to others, in order to have an occasion for slander. This, however, is the disposition of a wicked and deceitful mind, and one that is quick and ready for every evil.
Cyprian
But I hear that some infect your number, and destroy the praise of a distinguished name by their corrupt conversation; whom you yourselves, even as being lovers and guardians of your own praise, should rebuke and check and correct. For what a disgrace is suffered by your name, when one spends his days in intoxication and debauchery, another returns to that country whence he was banished, to perish when arrested, not now as being a Christian, but as being a criminal!
Western Saints
Bede
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, etc. For he suffers as a blasphemer who, at the time of his suffering, is carried away into the injury of his persecutor.
