1 Peter 4:11-14

Context
4:11 Whoever speaks, let it be with¹ God’s words.² Whoever serves, do so with the strength³ that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong⁴ the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

4:12 Dear friends, do not be astonished⁵ that a trial by fire is occurring among you,⁶ as though something strange were happening to you. 4:13 But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed⁷ you may also rejoice and be glad.⁸ 4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory,⁹ who is the Spirit of God,¹⁰ rests¹¹ on you.

¹tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

²tn Or “oracles.”

³tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

⁴tn Grk “is/are.”

⁵tn Or “do not be surprised, taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:4.

⁶tn Grk “at the burning among you, occurring to you for testing.”

⁷tn Grk “in the revelation of his glory.”

⁸tn The verb “be glad” is used also in 1:6 and 1:8. The verbs of v. 13b are used together in Matt 5:12 and Rev 19:7.

⁹tc Many mss, some of them important and early ([א] A P 33 81 323 945 1241 1739 pm bo), add καὶ δυνάμεως (kai dunamew"; “and of power”) here. The shorter reading is supported by Ì⁷² B K L Ψ 049 pm). Although the evidence is evenly divided, the longer reading looks to be an explanatory or liturgical expansion on the text and for this reason should be considered secondary.

¹⁰tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

¹¹sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.
