The Example of Perfect Innocence
Commentators universally agree that Peter highlights Christ's absolute sinlessness ('did no sin') and complete honesty ('no guile') to establish him as the ultimate example. His patient suffering is profound precisely because he was entirely innocent. This encourages believers to first strive for blamelessness and then, if they suffer unjustly, to endure it with patience, following Christ's perfect pattern.
