1 Peter 2:18-25

ECB(i) 18 Housekeepers: subjugate to your despotes in all awe - not only to the good and gentle, but also to the crooks. 19 For this is charism: if for sake of conscience toward Elohim one endures sorrow, suffering unjustly. 20 For what fame is it, if you endure, when you are punched for your sinning? But if you endure, when you do good and suffer, this is charism with Elohim. 21 For even to this, you were called: because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving behind an example to follow his tracks 22 - who neither sinned nor was deceit found in his mouth: 23 who, being abused, replied unabusively; suffering, threatened not; and surrendered himself to him who judges justly: 24 who his own self took our sins in his own body on the staff, that we, being dead to sins, live to justness: by whose bruises you are healed. 25 For you were as wandering sheep - but now you returned to the Shepherd and Episcopate of your souls. Isaiah 52:14-53:12
