‏ 1 Peter 4:13-16

4:13 ^a Christians are called to suffer with Christ in order to be glorified with him (see also Rom 8:17 ^b).
4:14 ^c If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed (literally you are blessed when you are reproached): This verse reflects Jesus’ teaching in Matt 5:11-12 ^d.
4:16 ^e Although evidence is very fragmentary, it is likely that the label Christian (cp. Acts 11:26 ^f) was originally a convenient way of summarizing the alleged superstitious practices and immoral character attributed to Jesus’ followers.
