1 | If you are reviled IN the name of Christ | 1 Pet 4:14 | Ray | 148715 | ||
Hi Michael, Capitalization in the Greek and Hebrew was not a big deal, I agree. Capitalization in most of our Bible versions is not a big deal. But would you not agree that it is important to determine in our minds whether a verse is talking about God or not? For instance, you wrote that "the commitee thought it was more likely an addition refering to the spirit of glory." Was the committee referring to the spirit [sic] or the Spirit of glory? 1) Thank you for your Scripture references. I think your Matthew 5:11 passage is an appropriate comparison. I think also that Matthew 5:20 can be compared to 1 Peter 4:14 in that our righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, if the Spirit of glory rests upon us. From the heart, Ray |

2 | If you are reviled IN the name of Christ | 1 Pet 4:14 | Michael Draves | 148746 | ||
The commentary says "spirit of glory" in lower case. I think it is a consideration for the translator on what to capitialize and for the reader to think about on their own. The word "spirit" only occurs once though it has two articles referring to it and "of glory" and "of God" each have an article so they don't refer to the same object but since "spirit" only occurs once for the "of God" then I would probably capitalize it. When teletypes came out it was decided to use all upper case, even though all lower case was easier to read, so "God" could be written as "GOD" instead of "god". |

3 | Reviled IN the name of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:14 | Ray | 148754 | ||
My Greek/English Interlinear by J.P.Green, Sr has this rendering for 1 Peter 4:14, "If you are reviled in (the) name of Christ, (you are) blessed, because the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you. Truly, according to them, He is blasphemed, but according to you, He is glorified." Getting back to my original question, "How does this relate to our being reviled IN the name of Christ?" From the heart, Ray |

4 | Reviled IN the name of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:14 | Mommapbs | 148766 | ||
Greetings Ray - when one is "in the name of Christ" can we agree that this would identify the individual as a Christ follower? Why would anyone be reviled if he/she were not "in" Christ? Seems to me that when someone is "in" Christ one is fair game for the enemy! This is an assurance of our salvation (because the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you)of a sort don't you think? Praying God's blessings upon you dear brother! mommapbs |

5 | Reviled IN the name of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:14 | Ray | 148795 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, You have encouraged me in my thinking on the passage, for I agree with you that being in the name of Christ would identify the individual as a Christian. 1 Peter 4:16, "but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but in that name let him glorify **God." James 4:4, "You adulteress, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward **God?" It is time for us all to live up to the name that we go by--Christians. Or as 1 Peter 4:17 says, "For it is time for judgment to begin with [Lit. from] the household of God;..." So my question as a counter of pronouns of Deity is, "How do we interpret this word "Christian" and "Do I include the last part of verse 14 in my personal copy?" From the heart, Ray |

6 | Reviled IN the name of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:14 | Mommapbs | 148842 | ||
Greetings on this Lord's day Ray! Are you asking about v 14 or 16? The "disciples" were first called Christians at Antioch (Acts 11:26) What is a disciple of Christ - one who follows where led. We follow because we believe in Him, Who He says He is and who He says we are - His brothers - which of course implies a shared family heritage or a blood relationship right? Think about this a bit! To me, a Christian is one who is incarnated with Christ. (Col 1:27) Thos who do not have the Son (1 John 5:12;Romans 8) do not have His Spirit are NOT Christians (sons of God) - even though they may call themselves as such. God knows who are His. Only those who are indwelt by the Spirit of the living Lord Jesus can truly be reviled for that name. Blessings, mommapbs |
