Be imitators of me, as I am also of Christ.
Even as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me.
Be fellow-imitators of me, brothers, and consider the ones walking this way, even as you have us for a pattern.
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, welcoming the Word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Spirit.
Not that we do not have authority, but that we give ourselves as an example to you, for you to act like us.
that you not become dull, but imitators of the ones who through faith and long-suffering are inheriting the promises.
