Household slaves, submit yourselves to your masters in all reverence; not only to the kind and gentle, but also to the unreasonable. For it is an acceptable thing to God, if from a sense of duty to him, a man endures a wrong, even suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you are struck for a fault, you take it patiently? But if when you are doing well and suffer for it, you always take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For this is your calling; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his footsteps; He committed no sin, Neither was guile found in his mouth. He was reviled, and reviled not back. When he suffered he never threatened but always committed his cause to the One who judges rightly.

For you were straying like lost sheep, but you are now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
