1 Peter 4:16

But, if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but be glorifying God in this name.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

In Context

17For it is the ripe time for the judgment to begin with the house of God; but, if first with us, what shall be the end of them who yield not unto the glad-message of God?

Fortitude and Circumspection; Advice to Suffering Christians.
