If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
The word "rest" (anapauo) signifies "to give rest, to refresh." According to Thayer, it means "to keep quiet" (41-1-373). It speaks of the abiding presence of the Spirit or the Godhead itself (Matthew 11:28-30; Romans 8:26). God is not going to drop a burden on a Christian--He is going to restore or refresh him. "If ye be reproached ... the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you" (Acts 7:55-56).
