1Peter:2:19-23

*
For it is an acceptable thing to God ,
if from a sense of duty to him ,
a man endures a wrong ,
even suffering unjustly .
*
For what credit is it if ,
when you are struck for a fault ,
you take it patiently ?
But if when you are doing well and suffer for it ,
you always take it patiently ,
this is acceptable with God .
*
For this is your calling ;
because Christ also suffered for you ,
leaving you an example ,
so that you should follow in his footsteps ;
*
He committed no sin ,
Neither was guile found in his mouth .
*
He was reviled ,
and reviled not back .
When he suffered he never threatened but always committed his cause to the One who judges rightly .
