RHE

NIV

20 For what glory is it, if, committing sin and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is thankworthy before God.
20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
21 For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
23 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
24 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
25 For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
