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

18 Servants being subjected to masters in all fear; not only to the good and equitable, but also to the crooked. 19 For this is grace, if any by consciousness of God bear grief, suffering unjustly. 20 For what glory, if, sinning and being cuffed, ye endure? but if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure, this is grace with God.

21 For to this were ye called: for also Christ suffered for you, leaving behind to you an underwriting, that ye should follow upon his footsteps: 22 Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth: 23 Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly; 24 Who himself bear up our sins in his body upon the wood, that we, removed from sins, should live to justice: by whose bloody mark ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but now have turned about to the Shepherd and inspector of your souls.
