• It will be observed that in this passage, it is for Christ Himself (as it has been said) that the believer suffers; and, therefore, the Apostle speaks of glory and joy at the appearing of Jesus Christ, which he does not mention in chapter 2:20 and chapter 3:17 (compare Matthew 5:10 and verses 11-12 of the same chapter). (“1 Peter 4” by J.N. Darby)
• To be an object of "reproach" for His Name, is acceptable with God-a thing to be coveted (1 Peter 4:14). "Let us go forth without the Camp": because He is there-not inside. (“Hunt’s Sayings - 525” by R. Hunt)
• We are declared to be happy or blessed if the reproach be “for” the name, or “in” the name of Christ; which means that the world sees in us His representatives. (“1 Peter 4” by F.B. Hole)

WK Translation Notes

a
There is an addition "and of power" also between the phrase "the Spirit of glory" and the phrase "and of God," in some MSS., but the best witnesses oppose; and indeed it seems still less in accord with the context.
b
The latter part of the verse in brackets is quite true, and said in substance elsewhere; but as the words are omitted by the best MSS. and most ancient versions and looking like a gloss, they are here bracketed as of doubtful authority.
