1 Corinthians 4:16

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.

Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.

You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.

Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.
