22 Christ did not sinor ever tell a lie.
23 Although he was abused,he never tried to get even.And when he suffered,he made no threats.Instead, he had faith in God,who judges fairly.
24 Christ carried the burdenof our sins.He was nailed to the cross,so we would stop sinningand start living right.By his cuts and bruisesyou are healed.
25 You had wandered awaylike sheep.Now you have returnedto the onewho is your shepherdand protector.
