Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.

Brothers and sisters, join together in following my example. You have us as a model. So pay close attention to those who live as we do.

Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

Join in imitating me, brothers and sisters, and pay careful attention to those who live according to the example you have in us.

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

Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

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

Join in imitating me, brothers, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us.

Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

So I urge you to imitate me.

Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me— everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.

For you know that you ought to imitate us. We were not idle when we were with you.

Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an example to follow.

Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God.I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.

So you received the message with joy from the Holy Spirit in spite of the severe suffering it brought you. In this way, you imitated both us and the Lord.

Take note of those who refuse to obey what we say in this letter. Stay away from them so they will be ashamed.

Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.

Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.

You yourselves are our witnesses— and so is God— that we were devout and honest and faultless toward all of you believers.And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children.We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God— which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.And then, dear brothers and sisters, you suffered persecution from your own countrymen. In this way, you imitated the believers in God’s churches in Judea who, because of their belief in Christ Jesus, suffered from their own people, the Jews.
