1 Peter

1 Peter 2:21–25

²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:

²²“He committed no sin,

and no deceit was found in His mouth.”^g

²³When they heaped abuse on Him,

He did not retaliate;

when He suffered, He made no threats,

but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.

²⁴He Himself bore our sins^h

in His body on the tree,

so that we might die to sin

and live to righteousness.

“By His stripes you are healed.”ⁱ

²⁵For “you were like sheep going astray,”^j but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
