^{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.

^{21 Ref} for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

^{22 Ref} who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

^{23 Ref} who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

^{24 Ref} who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

^{25 Ref} for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
