what

if,
when ye be

patiently,
this is
acceptable

Who
did
no
sin,
neither was
guile
found
in
his
mouth:
|

Who, when he was
reviled,
reviled
not
again; when he
suffered, he
threatened
not;

judgeth
righteously:

Who his own
self
bare
our
sins
in his
own

on the
tree,
that

sins, should
live unto
righteousness:
by
whose
stripes ye were
healed.

For ye
were
as
sheep going
astray;
but
are
now
returned
unto the
Shepherd
and
Bishop of
your
souls.
