'Imitate' in the Bible

For you yourselves know how you must imitate us: We were not irresponsible among you;

It is not that we don’t have the right to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate us.

Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
