1 ^zBe imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

17 Brothers, ^ujoin in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk ^vaccording to the example you have in us.

12 ^sLet no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers ^tan example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

7 Show yourself in all respects to be ^ya model of good works, and in your teaching ^zshow integrity, ^adignity, 8 and ^bsound speech that cannot be condemned, ^cso that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.

3 not ^rdomineering over those in your charge, but ^sbeing examples to the flock.
