Bible: 1 Peter 2:21-25; 3:18
2:21 For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps. 2:22 He 1 committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth. 2 2:23 When he was maligned, he 3 did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened 4 no retaliation, 5 but committed himself to God 6 who judges justly. 2:24 He 7 himself bore our sins 8 in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning 9 and live for righteousness. By his 10 wounds 11 you were healed. 12 2:25 For you were going astray like sheep 13 but now you have turned back to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
3:18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
but you will eat the grain 1 of the field.
