21 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. 22 Remember how Christ conducted himself:
He never sinned,
And he never said [MTY] anything to deceive people.
23 When people insulted him, he did not insult them in return.
When people caused him to suffer, he did not threaten ◄to get revenge/to cause them to suffer►.
Instead, he decided to let God, who always judges justly, prove that he ◄was innocent/had done nothing that is wrong► (OR, he left his case in the hands of God, who always judges justly).
