John 13:15

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

I did this as an example for you. So you should serve each other just as I served you.

See the chapter Copy

Accept my teaching. Learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will be able to get some rest.

If we say we live in God, we must live the way Jesus lived.

This is what you were chosen to do. Christ gave you an example to follow. He suffered for you. So you should do the same as he did:

Live a life of love. Love others just as Christ loved us. He gave himself for us—a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

All patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other, as Christ Jesus wants.

Don’t be like a ruler over those you are responsible for. But be good examples to them.
