4 Bible Verses about Examples, Good

Brothers, take the [Old Testament] prophets, who spoke in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord, as your examples of suffering and patience. Notice that we consider those who endured [suffering with patience] to be blessed [by God]. You people have heard of Job's patience and have seen what the Lord finally did [for him]. The Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

Brothers, you people should join together in imitating me, and take note of those who are following my example.

For I have set an example for you, so that you should do as I have done for you.

You people should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
