rwp @1Peter:4:14 @{If ye are reproached } (\ei oneidizesthe \). Condition of first class assumed as true with \ei \ and present passive indicative of \oneidiz “\, for which verb see strkjv @James:1:5 |. {For the name of Christ } (\en onomati Christou \). "In the matter of the name of Christ ." For the idea see strkjv @Matthew:5:11f .; strkjv @19:29 ; strkjv @Acts:5:41 ; strkjv @9:16 ; strkjv @21:13 |. This is the only N .T . example of just \onoma Christou \, here used because of the use of \Christianos \ in verse 16 |. For the beatitude \makarioi \ see strkjv @Matthew:5:11f |. {The Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God } (\to t ˆs dox ˆs kai to tou theou pneuma \). Note repetition of the article (\to \) though \pneuma \ only once . The reference is to the Holy Spirit , who is the Spirit of Glory and of God . {Resteth upon you } (\eph ' h ˆmas anapauetai \). Quotation from strkjv @Isaiah:11:2 |. Present middle indicative of \anapau “\, to give rest , refresh (Matthew:11:28 |). "He rests upon the Christian as the Shechinah rested upon the tabernacle " (Bigg ). Cf . strkjv @1:8 ; strkjv @Matthew:3:16 |. rwp @1Peter:4:15 @{Let no one of you suffer } (\m ˆ tis hum “n paschet “\). Prohibition with \m ˆ\ and present active imperative (habit prohibited ). {As } (\h “s \). Charged as and being so . Two specific crimes (murderer , thief ) and one general phrase (\kakopoios \, evildoer , strkjv @1Peter:2:12 ,14 |), and one unusual term \allotriepiscopos \ (a meddler in other men 's matters ). Note \ˆ h “s \ (or as ) = or "also only as " (Wohlenberg ). The word was apparently coined by Peter (occurring elsewhere only in Dionys . Areop . and late eccles . writers ) from \allotrios \ (belonging to another , strkjv @2Corinthians:10:15 |) and \episkopos \, overseer , inspector , strkjv @1Peter:2:25 |). The idea is apparently one who spies out the affairs of other men . Deissmann ( _Bible Studies_ , p . 224 ) gives a second-century papyrus with \allotri “n epithum ˆt ˆs \ a _speculator alienorum_ . Epictetus has a like idea (iii . 22 . 97 ). Biggs takes it to refer to "things forbidden ." Clement of Alexandria tells of a disciple of the Apostle John who became a bandit chief . Ramsay ( _Church in the Roman Empire_ , pp . 293 , 348 ) thinks the word refers to breaking up family relationships . Hart refers us to the gadders-about in strkjv @1Thessalonians:4:11 ; strkjv @2Thessalonians:3:11 | and women as gossipers in strkjv @1Thessalonians:5:13 |. It is interesting to note also that \episkopos \ here is the word for "bishop " and so suggests also preachers meddling in the work of other preachers .
