1 Peter 2:21 Context
19For this is thanke-worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if when yee be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently: but if when yee doe well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21For euen hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for vs, leauing vs an example, that yee should follow his steps. 22Who did no sinne, neither was guile found in his mouth. 23Who when hee was reuiled, reuiled not againe; when hee suffered, hee threatned not, but committed himselfe to him that iudgeth righteously.
