For I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.

Brothers, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter upon that Rest, so that none of us fall through such disbelief as that of which we have had an example.

Brothers, as an example of the patient endurance of suffering, take the Prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

For it was to this that you were called! For Christ, too, suffered--on your behalf--and left you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
