“For what advantage is there if you endure beatings for sin? But if you endure suffering for doing good, this is commendable in God’s sight. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When he was reviled, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but entrusted himself to him who judges righteously. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. Once you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your lives.” 1 Peter 2:20-25
