1 Peter 2:18-24

¹⁸Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are harsh. ¹⁹For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person endures grief when suffering unjustly. ²⁰For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

²¹For you have been called for this purpose, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps, ²²He who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; ²³and while being abusively insulted, He did not insult in return; while suffering, He did not threaten, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; ²⁴and He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by His wounds you were healed.
