They have imitated Jesus, of whom we read: “When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously. ” ​ — 1 Peter 2: 23.
Nad on jäljendanud Jeesust, kelle kohta on kirjutatud: „[Ta] ei sõimanud vastu, kui teda sõimati,... ei ähvardanud, kui ta kannatas, vaid jättis selle hooleks, kes mõistab kohut õigesti ”.
