Greek Commentary for 1 Peter 3:14
“But if ye should also (or even) suffer.” Condition of the fourth class with ει ei and the optative (undetermined with less likelihood), a rare condition in the vernacular Koiné, since the optative was a dying mode. If matters, in spite of the prophetic note of victory in 1 Peter 3:13, should come to actual suffering “for righteousness‘ sake” If the conclusion were expressed regularly, it would be ειητε αν eiēte an (ye would be), not εστε este (ye are). It is interesting to note the third-class condition in 1 Peter 3:13 just before the fourth-class one in 1 Peter 3:14. [source]
Prohibition with μη mē and the first aorist (ingressive) passive subjunctive of ποβεομαι phobeomai to fear, and the cognate accusative ποβον phobon (fear, terror). “Do not fear their threats” (Bigg). Quotation from Isaiah 8:12.Neither be troubled (μηδε ταραχτητε mēde taraxthēte). Prohibition with μηδε mēde and the first aorist (ingressive) subjunctive of ταρασσω tarassō to disturb (Matthew 2:6; John 12:27). Part of the same quotation. Cf. 1 Peter 3:6. [source]
