1 Peter 2:19-25 ▼

19 for this [is] grace: if anyone endures sorrows because of conscience toward God, suffering unrighteously;

20 for what renown [is it], if sinning and being battered, you endure [it]? But if, doing good and suffering [for it], you endure, this [is] grace with God,

21 for to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving to you an example, that you may follow His steps,

22 who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in His mouth,

23 who being reviled—was not reviling again, suffering—was not threatening, and was committing Himself to Him who is judging righteously,

24 who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree that having died to sins, we may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed;

25 for you were as sheep going astray, but now you turned back to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
