1 Peter 2:18-25 - Submission Of Slaves To Masters
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but even to the froward. 19 For this is gracious conduct, if for conscience towards God, any man undergo sorrows, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory would there be, if committing faults, and being buffeted, ye suffered patiently? but if, when ye behave well, yet suffer, ye bear it patiently, this is graciously accepted of God.
21 For hereunto have ye been called, because Christ also hath suffered for you, leaving you a pattern, that ye should follow his steps; 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he used no menaces; but referred himself to him who judgeth righteously: 24 who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead unto sins, might live unto righteousness; "by whose stripes, [even] his, ye were healed." 25 For ye were as sheep wandering astray; but are now returned unto the pastor and bishop of your souls.
