John 13:15

I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing.

He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.

But let the greatest among you be your servant.

Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
