Often an unrepentant sinning Christian will interpret genuine Christian concern and Biblical church discipline to be busybodying or meddling.
On the other hand, when modern-day Pharisees and Sadducees justify busybodying by calling it Christian concern this is usually after demonstrating a distinct lack of concern: Never stick around to socialise after church services, believe that handshakes and short greetings in church once or twice (or maybe thrice) a week fulfills the Bible teachings on fellowship and hospitality, uninterested in befriending and getting to know church members outside of their family or clique, etc.. Then when someone violates one of their taboos or man-made measurements of spirituality all of a sudden they are "concerned."
