English term or phrase: I am content to bear the reproach
Faraday’s humility is borne out by the following excerpt from the book Researches in Chemistry and Physics and originally from a lecture on ‘Mental Education’ delivered before the Royal Institution on 6 May 1854:
I believe that as a man is placed above the creatures round him, there is a higher and far more exalted position within his view; and the ways are infinite in which he occupies his thoughts about the fears, or hope, or expectations, of a future life. I believe that the truth of that future cannot be brought to his knowledge by any exertion of his mental powers, however exalted they may be; that it is made known to him by other teaching than his own; it is received through simple belief of the testimony given. Let no one suppose, for an instant, that the self-education I am about to commend, in respect of the things of this life, extends to any considerations of the hope set before us, as if man by reasoning could find out God. It would be improper here to enter upon this subject further than to claim an absolute distinction between religious and ordinary belief. I shall be reproached with the weakness of refusing to apply these mental operations which I think good in respect of high things to the very highest. ***I am content to bear the reproach*** … I have never seen anything incompatible between those things of man which can be known by the spirit of man that is within him and those higher things concerning his future, which he cannot know by that spirit."

Quizás pueda ser: "Puedo soportar la vergüenza, el desdén, el escarnio,etc"

Está hablando del reproche anterior: "I shall be reproached with the weakness...", de manera que sí que se refiere al reproche. Podría quedar como "Puedo aguantar el reproche", que enlaza con la frase anterior. No sé si te servirá de ayuda.
