Followers of me become ye, as I also `am' of Christ.
as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved.
I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;
become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us -- a pattern;
and ye -- ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;
that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
