1 Petrus 2:20

2:20 For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God. ¹ 

1 Petrus 4:14

4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, ²  who is the Spirit of God, ³  rests ⁴  on you.

1 Petrus 4:16

4:16 But if you suffer as a Christian, ⁵  do not be ashamed, but glorify ⁶  God that you bear such a name. ⁷ 

[2:20]  ¹ tn Grk “For this [is] favor/grace with God,” used as a metonymy as in vs. 19 of that which pleases him, which he looks on with favor (cf. BDAG 1079 s.v. χάρις 2).

[4:14]  ² 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]  ³ tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

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

[4:16]  ⁵ tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

[4:16]  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.

[4:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “in this name.”
