Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and meek, but also to the unruly.
For this is grace: when, because of God, a man willingly endures sorrows, suffering injustice.
For what glory is there, if you sin and then suffer a beating? But if you do well and suffer patiently, this is grace with God.

He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.

He himself bore our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sin, would live for justice. By his wounds, you have been healed.
