1 Peter 4:14-16

The Bible in Basic English BBE

14 If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

15 Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

16 But if he undergoes punishment as a Christian, that is no shame to him; let him give glory to God in this name.

New International Version NIV

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

15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.

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