14 If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you.
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, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs.
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 But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!
16
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
