Context
18Servants, subject to masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19For this thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20For what glory if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer ye take it patiently, this acceptable with God.
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed to him that judgeth righteously:
24Who 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.
