OET (OET-RV) but if you suffer for being a follower of the messiah, then there’s no need to feel ashamed but instead be praising God in that name.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν Θεὸν
not ˱him˲_/let_be_being/_ashamed ˱him˲_/let_be/_glorifying but ¬the God
Peter is addressing his readers indirectly by using the third person. If this might be confusing in your language, you could use the second person, as the previous verse does. See the discussion of this in the General Notes for this chapter. Alternate translation: [do not be ashamed, but glorify God]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ
in ¬the name this
Here, this name refers to the title “Christian” mentioned earlier in the verse. If this might confuse your readers, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: [because he bears the name ‘Christian’] or [because people have recognized him as a Christian]
4:16 Although evidence is very fragmentary, it is likely that the label Christian (cp. Acts 11:26) was originally a convenient way of summarizing the alleged superstitious practices and immoral character attributed to Jesus’ followers.

OET (OET-RV) but if you suffer for being a follower of the messiah, then there’s no need to feel ashamed but instead be praising God in that name.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
