He never sinned,
nor ever deceived anyone.
23He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
24He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.

Lord God,
by your grace may I be powerful today for your kingdom.
