Christian Order

11 ^(A)Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters, ^(A)join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the ^(B)pattern you have in us.

⁹ As for the things you have learned and received and heard and seen ^(A)in me, practice these things, and ^(B)the God of peace will be with you.

⁶ You also became ^(A)imitators of us and of the Lord, ^(B)having received ^(C)the word during great affliction with the ^(D)joy of the Holy Spirit,

⁹ not because we do not have ^(A)the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves ^(B)as a role model for you, so that you would ^[a]follow our example.
