Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.
Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.
Brothers, join in following my example, and look for those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.
You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
not because we do not have the authority, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would imitate us.
so that you may not become dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
