1 Corinthians 4:16

Therefore I urge you to imitate me.

Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.

Join in imitating me, brothers, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us.

It is not that we don’t have the right to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate us.

and you became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message with joy from the Holy Spirit.

Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.

When he has brought all his own outside, he goes ahead of them. The sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
