For even hereunto are ye called; for Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example.

Now these things were for our example, that we might not desire evil things, as they desired.

Now all these things happened to them for examples, and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come.
