1 Peter 2:18-25 - Submission Of Slaves To Masters
18 Let servants be subject with all fear to masters, not only to the good and gentle but also to the perverse. 19 For this deserves thanks, if on account of a knowledge of God one endures pain, suffering unjustly. 20 For what glory is it if when you sin and are punished you bear it patiently? But if you do well and suffer and bear it patiently, [this deserves thanks], for it is acceptable to God.
21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps, 22 who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth, 23 who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously, 24 who himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, that we having died to sins, may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like lost sheep, but are now returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
