AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 4:14 If you are insulted and reviled for [bearing] the name of Christ, you are blessed [happy, with life-joy and comfort in God's salvation regardless of your circumstances], because the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you [and indwelling you--He whom they curse, you glorify]. [Is 11:2] |
Bible Question (short): If you are reviled IN the name of Christ |
Question (full): 1 Peter 4:14, NKJ, "If you are reproached [insulted or reviled] for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified." The NKJ includes a sentence that the NASB does not have. These varying manuscripts show to my mind that they have been discussed (argued?) before. And to my mind it revolves around capitalization. What is this discussion all about do you think? "If you are reviled for [Lit, in] the name of Christ, you are blessed,..." From the heart, Ray |
