1 Corinthians 11:1

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

See the chapter Copy

Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the word with joy from the Holy Spirit,

I appeal to you, then, be imitators of me.

so that you may not become sluggish but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

This was not because we do not have that right but in order to give you an example to imitate.

just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage but that of many, so that they may be saved.
