• 1 Peter 2:21-23
    For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
    "Who committed no sin,
    Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
     
  • 1 John 2:6
    He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
     
  • Philippians 2:5-8
    Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
     
  • Isaiah 53:7
    He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
    Yet He opened not His mouth;
    He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
    And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    So He opened not His mouth.

     
  • John 8:29
    And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."
     
  • 1 Corinthians 11:1
    Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
     
  • Colossians 3:12-13
    Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
