For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, you also should do.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, “and you will find rest to your souls.” Jer. 6:16
And may the God of patience and encouragement give to you to be mindful of the same thing among one another according to Christ Jesus,
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrance of a sweet smell.
For you were called to this, for even Christ suffered on our behalf, leaving behind an example for us, that you should follow His footsteps;
nor as exercising lordship over the allotment given to you, but becoming examples of the flock.
The one saying to abide in Him ought so to walk himself even as that One walked.
