Old Testament

New Testament

1 Peter 2:19-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. For this is grace: when, because of God, a man willingly endures sorrows, suffering injustice.

20. For what glory is there, if you sin and then suffer a beating? But if you do well and suffer patiently, this is grace with God.

21. For you have been called to this because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in his footsteps.

22. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.

23. And when evil was spoken against him, he did not speak evil. When he suffered, he did not threaten. Then he handed himself over to him who judged him unjustly.

24. He himself bore our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sin, would live for justice. By his wounds, you have been healed.

25. For you were like wandering sheep. But now you have been turned back toward the Pastor and the Bishop of your souls.
