Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who so walk, since you have us for an example.
Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Therefore I beseech you, be followers of me.
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
Not because we have not that right, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.
Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their manner of life.
Let no man despise your youth; but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
And you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
