Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

2:21 follow his steps. Following His steps, we should “walk as He walked” (I John 2:6), even to the cross, if that should be His will. We should also love as He loved (John 13:35) and think as He thought (Philippians 2:5).


2:24 bare. “Bare” is the same word as “offer up” in I Peter 2:5.


2:24 live unto righteousness. Peter thus draws the same inference as Paul on the relation of the death of Christ for our sins to our death to our sins. See, for example, Galatians 2:19-20; Romans 6:11-13.


2:24 healed. See Isaiah 53:5 and the note on Matthew 8:17.
