1 Peter 4:13-14

4:13 But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed ¹  you may also rejoice and be glad. ²  4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, ³  who is the Spirit of God, ⁴  rests ⁵  on you.

1 Peter 4:16

4:16 But if you suffer as a Christian, ⁶  do not be ashamed, but glorify ⁷  God that you bear such a name. ⁸ 

¹ tn Grk “in the revelation of his glory.”

² tn The verb “be glad” is used also in 1:6 and 1:8. The verbs of v. 13b are used together in Matt 5:12 and Rev 19:7.

³ tc Many mss, some of them important and early ([א] A P 33 81 323 945 1241 1739 pm bo), add καὶ δυνάμεως (kai dunamew"; “and of power”) here. The shorter reading is supported by Ì⁷² B K L Ψ 049 pm). Although the evidence is evenly divided, the longer reading looks to be an explanatory or liturgical expansion on the text and for this reason should be considered secondary.

⁴ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

⁵ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.

⁵ tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

⁶ tn These are third-person imperatives in Greek (“if [one of you suffers] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed…let him glorify”), but have been translated as second-person verbs since this is smoother English idiom.

⁷ tn Grk “in this name.”
