For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 3:18 KJV
It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that’s what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That’s what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others’ sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.
1 Peter 3:18 MSG

And I thank you, Lord.
Good words, and amen.
Thanks for the KJV Reverend.
Thank you, all. And TB, of course: it's the baseline on which commentary is built. Speaking as a preacher, thank God for that baseline. :)
