1 Corinthians 11:1

New English Translation

Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

See the chapter Copy

just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.

I encourage you, then, be imitators of me.

Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you received the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, despite great affliction.

It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.
