18Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
20For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:
24who 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.
