1Pe 2:19 God will bless you for this, if you endure the pain of undeserved suffering because you are conscious of his will. 1Pe 2:20 For what credit is there if you endure the beatings you deserve for having done wrong? But if you endure suffering even when you have done right, God will bless you for it. 1Pe 2:21 It was to this that God called you, for Christ himself suffered for you and left you an example, so that you would follow in his steps. 1Pe 2:22 He committed no sin, and no one ever heard a lie come from his lips. 1Pe 2:23 When he was insulted, he did not answer back with an insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but placed his hopes in God, the righteous Judge. 1Pe 2:24 Christ himself carried our sins in his body to the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness. It is by his wounds that you have been healed. 1Pe 2:25 You were like sheep that had lost their way, but now you have been brought back to follow the Shepherd and Keeper of your souls.
