^{21 Ref} This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

^{22 Ref} Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

^{23 Ref} To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

^{24 Ref} He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

^{25 Ref} Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

^{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.

^{21 Ref} For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you{TR reads "us" instead of "you"} an example, that you should follow his steps,

^{22 Ref} who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."

^{23 Ref} Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

^{24 Ref} who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

^{25 Ref} For you were going astray like sheep; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer{"Overseer" is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent.} of your souls.
