1 Peter 2:18-23

181Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and 2gentle, but also to those who are 3unreasonable.

19For this finds 4favor, if for the sake of 5conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.

20For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if 6when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds 7favor with God.

21For 8you have been called for this purpose, 9since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you 10an example for you to follow in His steps,

22who 11committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth;

2312and while being 13reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
