AUV(i)
19 For those of you who put up with such suffering unjustly, because of your close relationship to God, are to be commended.
20 But it is no credit to you if you put up with a beating you deserve. But if you patiently tolerate suffering for doing good, this is pleasing to God.
21 [After all], this is what you were called to do, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps.
22 [For] He neither sinned nor used deceitful words.
23 When He was spoken to with harsh insults, He did not reply in the same way. When He was made to suffer, He did not threaten [His tormentors], but instead entrusted Himself to God, [whom He knew] would make a righteous judgment [in the matter].
