1 Peter 2:21-24 ▼

21 This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because: The Messiah also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.

22 |He never sinned, and he never told a lie.|

23 When he was insulted, he did not retaliate. When he suffered, he did not threaten. It was his habit to commit the matter to the one who judges fairly.

24 |He himself bore our sins| in his body on the tree, so that we might die to those sins and live righteously. |By his wounds you have been healed.|
