⁷ For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

⁹ not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves and ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.

¹ Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

¹⁶ I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.

³ neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.

⁷ in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine `showing' uncorruptness, gravity,

¹² Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

¹⁰ Ye are witnesses, and God `also', how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:

⁶ And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;

⁷ so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

⁹ The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

¹⁷ Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.
