Follow me as I follow Christ.
Brothers, become fellow imitators with me and observe those who walk according to our example.
You became followers of us and the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit.
So I implore you, be followers of me.
so that you may not be lazy, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
We did this, not because we did not have that right, but to make ourselves an example for you to follow.
just as I try to please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
