Become imitators of me, as I also am of Messiah.
as I also please all men in all matters, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they might be saved.
Therefore I appeal to you, to become imitators of me.
Become joint imitators of me, brothers, and look at those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.
And you became imitators of us and of the Master, having received the word in much pressure, with joy of the Set-apart Spirit,
not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example, for you to imitate us.
in order that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through belief and patience inherit the promises.
