Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
I urge you, then, be imitators of me.
so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.
just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.
