NASB | 1 Peter 4:14 If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. |
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] |
Subject: Reviled IN the name of Christ? |
Bible Note: 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 |
