King James Version with Apocrypha
"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
— 1 Peter 2:21, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”
“For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you 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:”
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
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.
