1 Peter 4:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 (A)[a]If ye be railed upon for the Name of Christ, blessed are ye: for the [b]spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: which on their part is evil spoken of, but on your part is glorified.
15 [c]But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God in this behalf.

- 1 Peter 4:14 Secondly, because that although the infidels think far otherwise, who in afflicting the godly, blaspheme God, yet the godly in that they are so railed upon, are honored of God with the true spiritual glory, and their adoption sealed in them by the Spirit of God.
- 1 Peter 4:14 By Spirit he meaneth the gifts of the Spirit.
- 1 Peter 4:15 The third difference: for the godly are not afflicted for their evil doings, but for righteousness’ sake as Christians: whereby it cometh to pass that the cross, seeing it is a testimony unto them of faith and righteousness, ministereth unto them not an occasion of sorrow, but of unspeakable joy: now the Apostle propoundeth the third difference under the form of an exhortation.
