1 Corinthians 11:1

¹⁷Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

⁶You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁶I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

¹Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children. ²Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

¹²that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

⁴each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

⁵Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁹This was not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

²Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. ³For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

³³even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
