Study Note
Peter grounds the call to patient suffering under unjust masters in the example of Christ: 'because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.' The word 'example' (hypogrammos) is a writing exercise in which students trace over the teacher's letters — implying that Christ's life is not merely an inspiration but a pattern to be reproduced. The following quotation of Isaiah 53 (2:22-25) interprets Christ's suffering as simultaneously exemplary (to be followed) and redemptive (bearing our sins) — the two functions held together rather than distinguished. The verse became foundational for Christian martyrology: Polycarp, Ignatius, and later martyrs understood their suffering as a following in Christ's steps.
