This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If ye are reproached (ei oneidizesthe). Condition of first class assumed as true with ei and present passive indicative of oneidizō, for which verb see Jam 1:5.
For the name of Christ (en onomati Christou). “In the matter of the name of Christ.” For the idea see Mat 5:11.; Mat 19:29; Act 5:41; Act 9:16; Act 21:13. This is the only N.T. example of just onoma Christou, here used because of the use of Christianos in 1Pe 4:16. For the beatitude makarioi see Mat 5:11.
The Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God (to tēs doxēs kai to tou theou pneuma). Note repetition of the article (to) though pneuma only once. The reference is to the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Glory and of God.
Resteth upon you (eph' hēmas anapauetai). Quotation from Isa 11:2. Present middle indicative of anapauō, to give rest, refresh (Mat 11:28). “He rests upon the Christian as the Shechinah rested upon the tabernacle” (Bigg). Cf. 1Pe 1:8; Mat 3:16.
