1 Peter 2:23
21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:
22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”
When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.
24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”
25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
