1 Peter 2:20b-25
Chapter 2
20
What merit is there in getting a punishment when you have done wrong? But if you endure punishment when you have done well, that is a grace before God.
21
This is your calling: remember Christ, who suffered for you, leaving you an example to follow.
22
He did no wrong, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
23
He did not return insult for insult, and when suffering, he did not curse but committed himself to the one who judges justly.
24
He went to the cross, bearing our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live upright lives. For by his wounds, you have been healed.
25
You were like stray sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
