1 Corinthians 4:16

Bible in Basic English 1965

So my desire is that you take me as your example.

See the chapter Copy

So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.

Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.

The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
