For ye yourselves know that ye ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;
And we proclaim to you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you to shrink from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the doctrine which he received of us.
Not that we have not power, but that we give ourselves a type to you to imitate us.
I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
Be ye imitators of me, as I also of Christ.
Be ye imitators together of me, brethren, and observe narrowly those walking thus, as ye have us for a type.
Concerning all things hold thyself a type of good works: in doctrine, integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,
Let none despise thy youth; but be thou a type of the faithful, in word, in intercourse, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Ye witnesses, and God, how holily and justly and unblamably we were to you the believing:
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.
And we beseech you, brethren, remind the disorderly, encourage the timid, sustain the weak, and be slow to anger to all.
She tasted that her traffic is good: her light will not go out by night
