εἰς τοῦτο, sc. to do well and to suffer, if need be, without flinching, as Christ did. ἐκλήθητε, sc. by God; cf. διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν θεοῦ. ἔπαθεν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, 1 Peter 2:22 supplies the essential point, which would be readily supplied, but Christ's suffering was undeserved (δίκαιος ὑπὲρ ἀδίκων, 1 Peter 3:18). καί also with reference to the similar experience of Christians; so Philippians 2:5, τοῦτο φρονεῖτε ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ. ὑπογραμμόν (1) outline, 2Ma 2:28, to enlarge upon the outlines of our abridgment; (2) copy-head, pattern, to be traced over by writing-pupils (Plato, Protag., 227 D; Clement ot Alexandria, Strom., ver 8, 49, gives three examples of which βεδιζαμψχθωπληκτρον σφιγξ is one). ἐπακολουθήσητε, reminiscence of jesus' word to Peter, ἀκολουθήσεις ὕστερον, John 13:36.
