1 Peter 2:21-25
New King James Version
21 For (A)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [a]us, (B)leaving [b]us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who(C) committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 (D)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but (E)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 (F)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, (G)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—(H)by whose [c]stripes you were healed. 25 For (I)you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned (J)to the Shepherd and [d]Overseer of your souls.

1 John 2:1-6
New King James Version
The Test of Knowing Christ
2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, (A)we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And (B)He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but (C)also for the whole world.
The Test of Knowing Him
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a (D)liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But (E)whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected (F)in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 (G)He who says he abides in Him (H)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
