New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
21 For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in 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 He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone.
22
“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
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 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are 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 Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.
25
For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
