1 Corinthians 4:16

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

Brethren, be imitators of me and consider those who so walk, as ye have us for a pattern.

And ye were made imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word with much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

Not because we did not have authority, but to give you an example that you might imitate us.

Remember your pastors, who have spoken unto you the word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation:

and not as having lordship over the heritage of the Lord, but in such a manner as to be examples of the flock.
