1 Peter 2:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 Who when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not, but [a]committed it to him [b]that judgeth righteously.
24 (A)[c]Who his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we being dead to sin, should live in righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

New International Version
23 When they hurled their insults at him,(A) he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.(B) Instead, he entrusted himself(C) to him who judges justly.(D) 24 “He himself bore our sins”(E) in his body on the cross,(F) so that we might die to sins(G) and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”(H) 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[a](I) but now you have returned to the Shepherd(J) and Overseer of your souls.(K)
