¹⁵ I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

²⁹ Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

⁵ Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

² And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

²¹ This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

¹⁷ Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing.

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

⁶ He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.
