Commentary on Proverbs
Aparece dos veces:
God did actually appear in our nature, and he was then poor for our sakes; and those who despise the poor despise them for a reason that ***reflects upon*** our Savior himself when he dwelt among us; and poor Christians are members of his body, and every injury done to them he considers as done to himself (Matt. 25:42).
[...]
When we are "what God made us" [meaning "poor"], and meet with calamities from the appointment of providence, every indignity or affront offered us ***reflects upon*** our Maker. Let no man, therefore, be ashamed of any circumstance in his condition that is not the fruit of sin, unless he is ashamed to own his Creator.
Por cierto, ¿no os suena raro eso último de "to own his Creator"?

Quiere decir que si alguien nos desprecia por nuestra pobreza, desprecia también a nuestro Salvador.
Igualmente en el segundo caso, cualquier insulto que recibimos es también un insulto a Dios.
Lo de own no es raro, significa reconocer al Creador, profesar la creencia en Dios
