The Incomparable Christ
13 zFor He rescued us from the abdomain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of cdHis beloved Son,  
14 ein whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
 15 fHe is the gimage of the hinvisible God, the ifirstborn of all creation.  
16 For jkby Him all things were created, lboth in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether mthrones or dominions or rulers or authorities —nall things have been created through Him and for Him.
 17 He opis before all things, and in Him all things qhold together.

1 Peter
Chapter 2
Christ Is Our Example
21 For uyou have been called for this purpose, vsince Christ also suffered for you, leaving you wan example for you to follow in His steps,  
22 WHO xCOMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;  
23 yand while being zreviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;  
24 and He Himself abbore our sins in His body on the cdcross, so that we emight die to fsin and live to righteousness; for gby His hwounds you were ihealed.  
25 For you were jcontinually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the kShepherd and lGuardian of your souls.
