In 1 Peter 2:21, ὑπολιμπάνων is a present active masculine singular participle in the clause about Christ suffering and leaving an example for those addressed to follow his tracks. The APB renders the clause, “leaving you an example that you might follow after his tracks.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Peter 2:21, the APB presents the clause as “leaving you an example”; That wording is treated as the verse's presentation of the clause rather than a precise lexical equation.
