Wherefore I desire you to counterfeit me.
Follow me as I do Christ.
¶ Brethren be followers of me, and look on them which walk even so, as ye have us for an ensample.
which ye have both learned and received, heard and also seen in me: those things do, and the God of peace shall be with you.
¶ And ye counterfeited us, and of the Lord: and received the word in much affliction, with joy of the holy ghost:
because we would not be grievous to any of you: not but that we had authority: but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, to counterfeit us.
Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: consider the conversation of their living, and counterfeit their faith.
Not as though ye were lords over the parishes: but that ye be an ensample to the flock.
