Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.

Be fellow imitators of me, brothers, and look out for those walking this way, just as you have us for a pattern.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, in that you received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

not because we do not have authority, but in order that we may give ourselves as a pattern to you, so that you might follow us.

lest you become dull, but [become] imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me."

Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

Let each of you look out not only for his own concerns, but also for the concerns of others.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
