21
TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED,
BECAUSE
CHRIST SUFFERED FOR YOU,
LEAVING
YOU AN EXAMPLE,
THAT
YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.
22
'HE COMMITTED NO SIN,
AND
NO DECEIT WAS FOUND IN HIS MOUTH.'
23
When they Hurled their Insults at Him,
He
did not Retaliate;
When
He Suffered, He made no Threats.
INSTEAD,
HE ENTRUSTED HIMSELF TO HIM WHO JUDGES JUSTLY.
24
HE HIMSELF BORE OUR SINS IN HIS BODY ON THE TREE,
SO
THAT WE MIGHT DIE TO SINS
AND
LIVE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS;
BY
HIS WOUNDS YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED.
(1
Peter 2:21-24)
