1 Peter 2:21 in Context — 1 Peter 2

19 Pois coisa agradável é se alguém, por causa da consciência a respeito de Deus, experimente dores, sofrendo injustamente.

20 Afinal, que mérito há em suportar serdes espancados por cometerdes pecado? Contudo, se, quando fazeis o bem, sois afligidos e suportais, isso é a Deus.

21 Pois para isto fostes chamados, porque também Cristo sofreu por nós, deixando-nos exemplo, para que sigais os seus passos.

22 Ele não cometeu pecado, nem engano foi achado em sua boca.

23 Quando o insultavam, ele não insultava de volta. Quando sofria, ele não ameaçava; em vez disso, entregava-se ao que julga de maneira justa.
