1 Peter 4:15

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, etc.] The punishment for murder was death by the law of God, (<010906>Genesis 9:6) or as a thief; whose fine or mulct, according to the Jewish law, was a fivefold or fourfold restitution, according to the nature of the thing that was stolen, (<022201>Exodus 22:1) or as an evildoer; a breaker of any of the laws of God or men, which are of a moral nature, and for the good of civil society: or as a busybody in other men's matters; “or as a bishop in another man's diocese”; that concerns himself in things he has nothing to do with, and neglects his own affairs, and lives in idleness, and upon the spoil of others; or takes upon him to manage, direct,…”

“But--Greek, "For." "Reproached in the name of Christ" I say (Pe1 4:14), "FOR let none," &c. as . . . as . . . as . . . as--the "as" twice in italics is not in the Greek.

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer - If you must be called to suffer, see that it be not for crime. Compare the notes at 1Pe 3:14, 1 Peter 3:17. They were to be careful that their sufferings were brought upon them only in consequence of their religion, and not because any crime could be laid to their charge. If even such charges were brought against them, there should be no pretext furnished for them by their lives. As an evil doer - As a wicked man; or as guilty of injustice and wrong toward others. Or as a busy-body in other men’s matters - The Greek word used here ἀλλοτριοεπίσκοπος allotrioepiskopos occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. It means, properly, an inspector of…”

“Let none of you deservedly suffer, as an evildoer - In any kind. 1 Peter 4:16”

“suffer: Pe1 2:20; Mat 5:11; Ti2 2:9 a busybody: Αλλοτριοεπισκοπος \[Strong's G244\], an inspector of another; meddling with other people's concerns. Th1 4:11; Th2 3:11; Ti1 5:13 1 Peter 4:16”
