American Standard Version
"who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: "
— 1 Peter 2:23, American Standard Version
“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”
“Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;”
“When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened no retaliation, but committed himself to God who judges justly.”
“Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.”
“To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:”
“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”
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.
For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
