1 Peter 2:21-23

New Living Translation

²¹For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered^[a] for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

²²He never sinned,
    nor ever deceived anyone.^[b]
²³He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
    nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
    who always judges fairly.
