21 This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because Christ also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.
22 "He never committed a sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
23 When he was insulted, he did not retaliate. When he suffered, he did not threaten but made it his habit to commit the matter to the one who judges fairly.
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to those sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
