This interpretation is contradicted in Luke. When bad luck happens it isn't a sign that unlucky people are worse.
Quote:Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” [Lk 13:2-5]
I see. Bad things don’t happen to the unlucky, but to people who think for themselves.
