¹⁶ Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

⁹ Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

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

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

⁶ And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.

⁹ Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

⁷ Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

⁴ And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

⁵ And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

³ Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
