For to this ye were called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps; who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously; who himself bore our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were going astray like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
