1 Peter 4:16-17

4:16 But if you suffer as a Christian, 1  do not be ashamed, but glorify 2  God that you bear such a name. 3  4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house 4  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate 5  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

1 tn The verb is implied by the context but not expressed; Grk “but if as a Christian.”

2 tn These are third-person imperatives in Greek (“if [one of you suffers] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed…let him glorify”), but have been translated as second-person verbs since this is smoother English idiom.

3 tn Grk “in this name.”

4 tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

5 tn Or “the end.”
