Servants, R127 be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, R128 but also to those who are unreasonable. F40
For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when R130 you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor F42 with God.
and F43 while being reviled, R135 He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
and He Himself bore R136F44 our sins in His body on the cross, R137F45 so that we might R138 die to sin F46 and live to righteousness; for by R139 His wounds F47 you were healed. R140
For you were continually R141 straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd R142 and Guardian F48 of your souls.
