1 Peter 2:18-25

181ServantsG3610, beG5293 subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 with allG3956 respectG5401, not onlyG3440 to thoseG3588 who are goodG18 and 2gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to thoseG3588 who are 3harshG4646.

19For thisG3778 finds favorG5485, ifG1487 for the sakeG1223 of 4conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a personG5100 enduresG5297 5griefG3077 when sufferingG3958 unjustlyG95.

20For whatG4169 creditG2811 is there ifG1487, when you sinG264 and are harshlyG2852 treatedG2852, you endureG5278 it withG5278 patienceG5278? But ifG1487 6when you doG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 and sufferG3958 for it you patientlyG5278 endureG5278 it, thisG3778 finds favorG5485 with GodG2316.

21For 7you have been calledG2564 for thisG3778 purpose, 8becauseG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 for you, leavingG5277 you 9an exampleG5261, soG2443 thatG2443 you would followG1872 in His stepsG2487,

22He whoG3739 10committedG4160 noG3756 sinG266, norG3761 was any deceitG1388 foundG2147 in His mouthG4750;

2311and while being 12abusivelyG3058 insultedG3058, He did not insultG486 inG486 returnG486; while sufferingG3958, He did notG3756 threatenG546, but kept entrustingG3860 Himself to Him who judgesG2919 righteouslyG1346;

24and He HimselfG846 1314broughtG399 our sinsG266 in His bodyG4983 upG399 on the 1516crossG3586, soG2443 thatG2443 we 17might dieG581 to 18sinG266 and liveG2198 for righteousnessG1343; 19by His 20woundsG3468 you were 21healedG2390.

25For you were 22continually strayingG4105 likeG5613 sheepG4263, but nowG3568 you have returnedG1994 to the 23ShepherdG4166 and 24GuardianG1985 of your soulsG5590.
