^{21 Ref} For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

^{22 Ref} who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

^{23 Ref} who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed `himself' to him that judgeth righteously:

^{24 Ref} 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.

^{25 Ref} For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
