For what glory is it, if, when ye be
buffeted for your faults, ye shall
take it patiently? but if, when ye
do well, and suffer for it, ye take
it patiently, this is acceptable with
God. For even hereunto were ye
called: because Christ also suffered
for us, leaving us an example,
that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile
found in his mouth: Who, when he
was reviled, reviled not again; when
he suffered, he threatened not; but
committed himself to him that judgeth
righteously: Who his own self bare
our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should
live unto righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed. For ye were
as sheep going astray; but are now
returned unto the Shepherd and
Bishop of your souls.
II Peter 2:20-25
