1 Peter 2:21-24

New American Standard Bible

Christ Is Our Example

²¹For ^(A)you have been called for this purpose, ^(B)because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you ^(C)an example, so that you would follow in His steps, ²²He who ^(D)committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; ²³^[a]and while being ^(E)abusively insulted, He did not insult in return; while suffering, He did not threaten, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; ²⁴and He Himself ^[b]^(F)brought our sins in His body up on the ^[c]^(G)cross, so that we ^(H)might die to ^[d]sin and live for righteousness; ^(I)by His ^[e]wounds you were ^(J)healed.
