^34 (A)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

^6 (A)He who says he abides in Him ^(B)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Christ’s Example to Be Followed

4 Therefore, since Christ suffered ^[a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

Submission to Masters^(A)

^18 (B)Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. ¹⁹ For this is ^(C)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. ²⁰ For ^(D)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. ²¹ For ^(E)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for ^[a]us, ^(F)leaving ^[b]us an example, that you should follow His steps:

^23 (H)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but ^(I)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; ^24 (J)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, ^(K)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—^(L)by whose ^[c]stripes you were healed.

²⁰ I have been ^(A)crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh ^(B)I live by faith in the Son of God, ^(C)who loved me and gave Himself for me.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding ^(A)as in a mirror ^(B)the glory of the Lord, ^(C)are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as ^[a]by the Spirit of the Lord.
