Vers. 18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. Verse 19. For this is thank-worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrong fully. Verse 20. For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults ye shall take it patiently? but if when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. Verse. 21. For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. V. 22. Who did not sin, neither was guile found in his mouth? V. 23. Who when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not, but committed himself to him, that judgeth righteously. V. 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes ye were healed. V. 25. For ye were as sheep going astray, but are now returned unto the shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
