And you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost; so that you are an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Beloved, I exhort you as pilgrims and strangers, to abstain from the carnal desire which wars against the soul; having your deportment beautiful among the Gentiles: in order that in whatsoever they calumniate you as evil doers, seeing from your beautiful works, they may glorify God in the day of his visitation.

or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good; because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people: as free, and not as having the freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God.

For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth, who, being reviled, reviled not again; suffering, he threatened not, but gave up to the one judging righteously: who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed. For you have wandered away like sheep; but you have now turned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

For you yourselves know how it behooves you to imitate us; because we were not disorderly among you; neither did we eat bread with any one gratuitously, but with labor and toil, night and day working, that we might not burden any one of you: not because we have not the right, but in order that we may give ourselves an example to you, that you may imitate us. read more.
