1 Peter 4:16

εἰδὲ ὡς χριστιανὸς, if one suffers as a follower of Christ, in the name of Christ (14). See on Acts 9:26 and Introduction. μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω echoes the saying, Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words of him also the Son of Man shall be ashamed when He cometh in the glory; so St. Paul says I suffer thus but am not ashamed (2 Timothy 1:12; cf. 2 Timothy 1:8). δοξαζέτω τὸν θεόν, by martyrdom if necessary, for this sense the phrase has acquired already in John 21:19. ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ = Mark 9:41.
