Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
