As obedient children, do not pattern your lives after the evil desires you formerly had when you were ignorant,

but in your whole life show yourselves to be holy, after the pattern of the Holy One from whom you received your Call.

For, hereunto, have ye been called; because, Christ also, suffered in your behalf, unto you, leaving behind a pattern, that ye might follow in his steps:

not by way of lording it over your charges but proving a pattern to the flock.
