1 Corinthians 11:1

New American Bible - revised edition

Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

See the chapter Copy

just as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own benefit but that of the many, that they may be saved.

Therefore, I urge you, be imitators of me.

Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the holy Spirit,

Not that we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us.

so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience, are inheriting the promises. God’s Promise Immutable.
