1 Peter 4:14 Context
12Beloued, thinke it not strange concerning the fiery triall, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened vnto you. 13But reioyce in as much as yee are partakers of Christes sufferings; that when his glory shalbe reueiled, ye may be glad also with exceeding ioy. 14If ye be reproched for the Name of Christ, happie are ye, for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: on their part hee is euill spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a theefe, or as an euill doer, or as a busibody in other mens matters. 16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorifie God on this behalfe.

4:14 If ye are reproached for Christ - Reproaches and cruel mockings were always one part of their sufferings. The Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you - The same Spirit which was upon Christ, #Luke 4:18|. He is here termed, the Spirit of glory, conquering all reproach and shame, and the Spirit of God, whose Son, Jesus Christ is. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified - That is, while they are blaspheming Christ, you glorify him in the midst of your sufferings, #1Peter 4:16|.

1Pe 4:14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ. Because you are a Christian. Happy [are ye]; for the Spirit of glory and of God. "Spirit" is not found in the Greek. The idea is that the sufferer for Christ is happy because the glory of Christ awaits him, and God's spirit is with him.
