Amplified Bible - #YouAreBlest
AMP 
, NIV: If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.  
, ESV: If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.  
, KJV: 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.  
, NASB: If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you.  
, NLT: So be happy when you are insulted for being a Christian, for then the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you.  
, CSB: If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.  
). Previously, Peter urged Christians to rejoice when suffering for Christ. They will rejoice when Christ's glory is revealed, to the extent that they have shared in His sufferings. Now Peter reminds Christians that it is a privilege—they are "blessed"—to be allowed to be insulted for Christ's name. Humans might insult you, but God's Spirit rests upon you. That fact is worth rejoicing.  It is a question of how Christians choose to see the reality of their circumstances. We can say, "I am being insulted because I am a Christian; this is a bad day. My life is off track. Where is God?" Or we can say, "I am being insulted because I am a Christian. What a blessing to be so closely identified with Christ that the world treats me the same way it treated Him. This is exactly what my life is for!"  It's not about taking on a falsely spiritual attitude; it's about correcting our perspective in the moment of suffering to fit our actual beliefs about who we are in Christ.

14 If you are insulted and reviled for [bearing] the name of Christ, you are blessed [happy, with life-joy and comfort in God’s salvation regardless of your circumstances], because the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you [and indwelling you—He whom they curse, you glorify].

Peter continues to describe how Christians should respond when faced with persecution: Take on Christ’s attitude, and expect God’s purpose for your life to include suffering. Set the course of your life away from mind-numbing pleasure seeking. Be alert so that you can pray effectively in these end times. In fact, rejoice if you share in Christ’s sufferings. God uses suffering to refine the faith of His people, and our present suffering contributes to future glory. If you suffer, keep doing good while trusting your soul to your Creator.
