1 Peter 4:12-14

4:12 Dear friends, do not be astonished¹ that a trial by fire is occurring among you,² 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 revealed³ you may also rejoice and be glad.⁴ 4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory,⁵ who is the Spirit of God,⁶ rests⁷ on you.

¹tn Or “do not be surprised, taken aback.” The same verb occurs in 4:4.

²tn Grk “at the burning among you, occurring to you for testing.”

³tn Grk “in the revelation of his glory.”

⁴tn 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.

⁵tc 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.

⁶tn Grk “the Spirit of glory and of God.”

⁷sn A quotation taken from Isa 11:2.
