"For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: "
— 1 Peter 2:21, American Standard Version
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”
“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,”
“For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.”
“For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.”
“This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:”
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”
Servants, bein subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you 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, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
