The Scripture
(14) If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Peter urged believers to arm themselves with the same mind as Christ, who suffered in the flesh, so that they would no longer live by the lusts of men but by the will of God, having spent enough time in past sins. He exhorted them to be sober, to pray, to have fervent charity, and not to be ashamed if they suffered as Christians, but to rejoice and glorify God in that name.
