Pure Cambridge Edition selected
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
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.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Suggested context · 1 Peter 2:11–25

The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

2:11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

2:12Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

2:13Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

2:14Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

2:15For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

2:16As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

2:17Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

2:18Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

2:19For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

2:20For 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.

2:21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

2:22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Selected passage

2:23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Selected passage

2:24Who 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.

Selected passage

2:25For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
