1 Peter 2:17-25

1 Peter 2:17-25 CSB

Honor everyone. Love  the brothers and sisters.  Fear God.  Honor the emperor. Household slaves, submit to your masters  with all reverence  not only to the good and gentle ones but also to the cruel.  For it brings favor if, because of a consciousness of God, someone endures grief from suffering unjustly. For what credit is there if when you do wrong and are beaten, you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer,  if you endure it, this brings favor with God. For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered  for you, leaving you an example,  that you should follow  in his steps. He did not commit sin,  and no deceit   was found in his mouth;   , when he was insulted, he did not insult in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but entrusted himself to the one who judges  justly. He himself bore our sins  in his body  on the tree;  so that, having died to sins,  we might live for righteousness.  By his wounds   , you have been healed. For you were like sheep going astray,   , but you have now returned to the Shepherd  and Overseer  of your souls.
