But if you do good and suffer for it, and you endure, this is commendable before God. 21 To this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example to follow in His footsteps. 22 He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth. 23 When He was reviled, He did not revile in return. When He suffered, He did not threaten, but entrusted Himself to the One who judges justly. 24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness.

    1Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had not borne him any children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.

    2So Sarai said to Abram, "Look, the LORD has prevented me from having children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." And Abram listened to Sarai's voice.

    3After Abram had lived in the land of Canaan for ten years, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her maidservant, and gave her to Abram as a wife.

    4He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When Hagar saw that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.

    5Then Sarai said to Abram, "The wrong done to me is your fault. I gave my maidservant into your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, I am despised in her eyes. May the LORD judge between you and me."

    6Abram said to Sarai, "Your maidservant is in your hands; do with her whatever you think is best." Then Sarai mistreated Hagar, and she fled from her presence.

    7The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.

    8He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maidservant, where have you come from, and where are you going?" She answered, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
