1 Peter 4:11

4:11 Whoever speaks, let it be with ¹  God’s words. ²  Whoever serves, do so with the strength ³  that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong ⁴  the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:14

4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, ⁵  who is the Spirit of God, ⁶  rests ⁷  on you.

[4:11]  ¹ tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

[4:11]  ² tn Or “oracles.”

[4:11]  ³ tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

[4:14]  ⁵ 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.

[4:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

[4:14]  ⁷ sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.
