Context

18Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect: not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

19For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

20For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

21For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

22who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”

23When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
