'Example' in the Bible

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you.

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.

Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.

For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
