1 Corinthians 4:16

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Be my imitators, even as I also am of Christ.

When he has put forth all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

Be imitators all together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,

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

Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.

not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
