1Pe 1 Peter, chapter First Epistle of Peter, chapter 2
You slaves must submit yourselves to your masters, even if they mistreat you. Imitate Christ in the way in which he suffered unjustly.
1 Peter 2:18-25
One of the reasons why God chose you is that you would suffer. When Christ suffered for you, he became an example for you, in order that you would ◄imitate what/do like► he did. Mat 16:24; Php 2:5
