Read in context

1 Peter 4:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.

13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.

14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.

16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
