Be ye imitators together of me, brethren, and observe narrowly those walking thus, as ye have us for a type.
And what things ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace shall be with you.
I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock.
Not that we have not power, but that we give ourselves a type to you to imitate us.
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:
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.
For ye yourselves know that ye ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;
And be ye not molesters to the Jews, and the Greeks, and to the church of God:
And if any listen not to our word by the epistle, mark him, and mix not together with him, that he may change.
And ye were imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much pressure, with joy of the Holy Spirit:
And I beseech you, brethren, to observe narrowly them having made divisions and scandals against the teaching which ye learned; and bend away from them.
Watch the blameless, and see the upright one, for the latter state to the man peace.
Be ye imitators of me, as I also of Christ.
