Example » Inspiration of example » Paul's example
For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you,
By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.
I encourage you, then, be imitators of me.
I wish that everyone was as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one this way, another that.
Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
And what you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.

He followed in his father Asa's footsteps and was careful to do what the Lord approved.
He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Uzziah had done. (He did not, however, have the audacity to enter the temple.) Yet the people were still sinning.
Example » Inspiration of example » David
David prevailed over the Philistine with just the sling and the stone. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. David did not even have a sword in his hand. David ran and stood over the Philistine. He grabbed Goliath's sword, drew it from its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they ran away. Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward, shouting a battle cry. They chased the Philistines to the valley and to the very gates of Ekron. The Philistine corpses lay fallen along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
