Reviled for the Name of Christ / Bible Commentary 1 Peter 4:14-16 - Robert Leighton



From "A Practical Commentary Upon the First Epistle of St. Peter," by Robert Leighton



"We need scarcely recommend this truly heavenly work. It is a favorite with all spiritual men." - Charles Spurgeon



1 Peter 4:14-16 King James Version (KJV)

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

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



Robert Leighton (1611 1684) was a Scottish prelate and scholar, best known as a church minister, Bishop of Dunblane, Archbishop of Glasgow, and Principal of the University of Edinburgh from 1653 to 1662. He was "noted for his Christian piety, his humility and gentleness, and his devotion to his calling."
