1 Peter 2:21-25
American Standard Version
21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [a]himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 who his own self [b]bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose [c]stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and [d]Bishop of your souls.

New American Standard Bible
Christ Is Our Example
21 For (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, 22 He 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; 24 and 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. 25 For you were (K)continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the (L)Shepherd and [f]Guardian of your souls.
