'Example' in the Bible

for I have given you an example that, as I have done to you, ye should do also.

not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

Let us therefore use diligence to enter into that rest, that no one may fall after the same example of not hearkening to the word.

Take as an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord.

and having reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha to ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, setting them as an example to those that should afterwards live an ungodly life;

as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities around them, committing greedily fornication, in like manner with them, and going after other flesh, lie there as an example, undergoing the judgment of eternal fire.
