21. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22. who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
23. Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
24. who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
25. For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
