²¹ For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

⁶ He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

²⁴ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

² And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

¹⁶ Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

²⁴ Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

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

⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

²² Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
