1 Peter 2:18-25 - Submission Of Slaves To Masters

18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. 19 For this is grace, if, through the conscience of God, one bears sorrows and suffering unjustly. 20 For what glory is there, if, committing sin and being buffeted, you endure it? But if, doing good and suffering you endure it, this is grace with God.

21 For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, 23 who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously: 24 who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed. 25 For you have wandered away like sheep; but you have now turned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
