(1 P 2.20 b-25): It pleases God when you do well, and to withstand suffering. For this you have been called. Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps. He committed no sin, and his mouth was no guile. When he was reviled, did not cursed when he suffered, he threatened not, but devoted himself to him who judges justly. He himself, in his body bore our sins on the cross, that we might die to sins and live for righteousness - his wounds have been healed. Had gone astray like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
