For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
