1 Peter 2:19-25
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 For this finds favor— if for the sake of a consciousness[a] of God one bears-up[b] while suffering sorrows unjustly. 20 For what-kind-of credit[c] is it if while sinning and being beaten, you will endure? But if while doing-good and suffering you will endure, this finds favor with God. 21 For you were called to this[d]. Because Christ also suffered for you, leaving-behind a pattern for you in order that you might follow-after His footsteps—
Christ Suffered Unjustly, Entrusting Himself To God
22 ... Who “did not commit sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth” [Isa 53:9]; 23 Who while being reviled, was not reviling-in-return; while suffering, was not threatening, but was committing Himself [e] to the One judging righteously; 24 Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross in order that we, having died[f] to sins, might live for righteousness; by Whose bruise you were healed. 25 For you were going-astray like sheep, but now you returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
