TSK · 1 Peter 2:21

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps. A Prayer by David.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

"If anyone comes to me, and doesn't disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.

For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."

explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."

Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.
