1 Peter 2:21-25

21For 1you have been calledG2564 for thisG3778 purpose, 2sinceG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 for you, leavingG5277 you 3an exampleG5261 for you to followG1872 in His stepsG2487,

22whoG3739 4committedG4160 noG3756 sinG266, norG3761 was any deceitG1388 foundG2147 in His mouthG4750;

23 5and while being 6reviledG3058, He did not revileG486 in returnG486; while sufferingG3958, He utteredG546 noG3756 threatsG546, but kept entrustingG3860 Himself to Him who judgesG2919 righteouslyG1346;

24and He HimselfG846 7 8boreG399 our sinsG266 in His bodyG4983 on the 9 10crossG3586, soG2443 that we 11might dieG581 to 12sinG266 and liveG2198 to righteousnessG1343; for 13by His 14woundsG3468 you were 15healedG2390.

25For you were 16continually strayingG4105 likeG5613 sheepG4263, but nowG3568 you have returnedG1994 to the 17ShepherdG4166 and 18GuardianG1985 of your soulsG5590.
