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

Study Note
Peter's instruction that those who 'suffer as a Christian' should 'not be ashamed but glorify God on this behalf' engages directly with the honor-shame value system governing social life in Asia Minor. The term 'Christian' (Christianos) appears only three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16) and seems to have functioned initially as an outsider label with derogatory intent — Peter rehabilitates the term by using it in the context of glorifying God through suffering. The instruction to 'glorify God on this behalf' transforms what would normally be a humiliation event within honor-culture into an act of divine worship, a thoroughgoing revaluation of the social economy. The passage contributed to the early church's construction of a counter-cultural honor system in which suffering for Christ conferred rather than removed status.
