Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Peter 4:15

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil doer , or as a busy body in other mens matters .

Keep clear of those Crimes which may expose you to suffering by the hand of Justice, and carry your selves so innocently, that you may never suffer from Men but unjustly.

Either this is a general term, denoting them that offend against any publick Law; or, it may signify those that are guilty of any offence against the Laws, tho less than Murder or Theft.

Either a Covetous Person that looks with an evil eye upon what others have, and is ready to catch it as he can; or, rather, one that goes beyond the bound of his own Calling, and invades the Callings of others, pragmatically intruding into their business, and making himself a Judge of those things which belong not to him. Some Nations are said to have punished those that were busy through Idleness, impertinently diligent in other Men's matters, and negligent of their own. However, if this pragmaticalness did not expose the Christians to the Laws of the Gentiles, yet it might make them odious, and expose them to their reproaches.
