1 Peter 2:25

For you were going astray like sheep ¹  but now you have turned back to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

Once you were wandering like lost sheep. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.

You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.

Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

For you were going astray like sheep ¹  but now you have turned back to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
