Context: 1 Peter 2
20For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24Who 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.

He begins by reminding them that they are chosen by God and are a holy nation, a royal priesthood, and a people belonging to God. He then encourages them to abstain from sinful desires and to live a life of holiness and righteousness. He also reminds them that they are to be an example to the world, and to show the world the goodness of God.
