22 He committed no sin, and there was no flattery in His mouth.

23 Being reviled, he did not reproach one another; suffering, he did not threaten, but committed it to the Righteous Judge.

24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having been delivered from sins, might live for righteousness: by his stripes you may be healed.

25 For you were like wandering sheep (having no shepherd), but you have now returned to the Shepherd and Keeper of your souls.

1 And ye also wives, be subject to your husbands, that those of them that do not obey the word may be gained by the life of their wives without a word,

2 When they see your pure, God-fearing life.

3 Let not the outward plaiting of the hair be your adornment, nor the headdresses of gold, nor the finery of the garments,

4 but the hidden man of the heart is in the incorruptible beauty of a meek and silent spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

5 Thus also the holy women, who trusted in God, adorned themselves in obedience to their husbands.

6 Thus Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her children, if you do good and are not troubled by any fear.

7 In the same way, husbands, treat your wives wisely, as with a weaker vessel, giving them honor as joint heirs of a grace-filled life, so that you may not be hindered in your prayers.

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, compassionate, brotherly, merciful, friendly, humble-minded;

9 Do not repay evil for evil, or reproach for reproach; on the contrary, bless, knowing that you are called to this in order to inherit the blessing.

10 For whosoever loveth life, and desireth to see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his mouth from evil speech;

11 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace and strive for it,

12 for the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears on their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

13 And who will do you evil, if you are zealous for what is good?
