1 PETER 2:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly — the narration of Christ's response to abuse emphasizes non-retaliation (antiloidoreō, not reviling back; apeiled, did not threaten) and trust (paradidomi, entrust) in God's just judgment. The example establishes patient endurance and ultimate trust in divine justice as the proper response to unjust suffering.
