I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
