1 Corinthians 4:16

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.

See the chapter Copy

Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.

Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.

BE ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.

And you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,

The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you.

Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
