1 Peter 2:21-23
New English Translation

21 For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps. 22 He[a] committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth.[b] 23 When he was maligned, he[c] did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened[d] no retaliation,[e] but committed himself to God[f] who judges justly.
