Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:    

"Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth"; 

who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; 

when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 

who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness - 

by whose stripes you were healed.  

For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

1 Peter 2:20-25   (NKJV)
