1 Peter 2:20-22
New English Translation
20 For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God.[a] 21 For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps. 22 He[b] committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth.[c]
