1 Corinthians 4:16

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.

See the chapter Copy

Not that we have not power, but that we give ourselves a type to you to imitate us.

Be ye imitators together of me, brethren, and observe narrowly those walking thus, as ye have us for a type.

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

And ye were imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much pressure, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

Remember them guiding you, who spake to you the word of God: of whom, observing narrowly the issue of the mode of life, imitate the faith:

And what things ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock.
