1 Peter 2:19-25
Read 1 Peter 2 in full →19For this finds 1favor, if for the sake of aconscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unrighteously. 20For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure? But if awhen you do good and suffer for it, you endure, this finds favor with God.
Christ, Our Example
21For to this ayou have been called, bsince Christ also suffered for you, leaving you can example that you should follow in His steps, 22who adid no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; 23who being areviled, was not reviling in return; while suffering, He was uttering no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. 24Who Himself 1,abore our sins in His body on the btree, so that chaving died to 2sin, we might live to righteousness; dby His 3wounds you were ehealed. 25For you were acontinually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the bShepherd and Overseer of your souls.
