19For it is to your credit if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly.
20If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, where is the credit in that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have Gods approval.
21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.
22 He committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth.
23When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.
