1 Corinthians 4:16

Young's Literal Translation 1862

I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;

See the chapter Copy

Followers of me become ye, as I also `am' of Christ.

become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us -- a pattern;

the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

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;

Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be imitating,

neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,
