The name denotes the person. To be in the name of Christ is actually to be in the (person) of Christ, in Christ Himself. When they are reproached in His (name), they are reproached with Him, sharing in His (sufferings) (v. 13), in the (fellowship) of His sufferings.
The Spirit of glory is the One through whom Christ was (glorified) in His (resurrection) (Rom. 1:4). This very Spirit of glory, being the Spirit of God Himself, (rests) upon the suffering believers in their persecution, for the glorifying of the resurrected and exalted (Christ), who is now in glory. (See 1 Pet. 4:14 note 1, note 2)
