1 Corinthians 11:1

Catholic Public Domain Version

Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.

See the chapter Copy

just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved.

Therefore, I beg you, be imitators of me, just as I am of Christ.

Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.

And so, you became imitators of us and of the Lord, accepting the Word in the midst of great tribulation, but with the joy of the Holy Spirit.

It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us.

so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.
