Curious:
Note: For the adjective periergos, "busy about trifles," see BUSYBODY: it is used of magic arts in Act 19:19 (lit., "things that are around work," and thus superfluous), i.e., the arts of those who pry into forbidden things, with the aid of evil spirits. See also 1Ti 5:13, where the meaning is "inquistive," prying into other people's affairs.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
