For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn't behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.
