1 Peter 2:21-25

21 For ^ato this you have been called, ^bbecause Christ also suffered for you, ^cleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 ^dHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 ^eWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, ^fbut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 ^gHe himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we ^hmight die to sin and ⁱlive to righteousness. ^jBy his wounds you have been healed. 25 For ^kyou were straying like sheep, but have now returned to ^lthe Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
