οὐχ ὅτι οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν ἀλλ' ἵνα ἑαυτοὺς τύπον δῶμεν ὑμῖν εἰς τὸ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
Συμμιμηταί μου γίνεσθε ἀδελφοί καὶ σκοπεῖτε τοὺς οὕτως περιπατοῦντας καθὼς ἔχετε τύπον ἡμᾶς
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye for have us an ensample.
καὶ ὑμεῖς μιμηταὶ ἡμῶν ἐγενήθητε καὶ τοῦ κυρίου δεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον ἐν θλίψει πολλῇ μετὰ χαρᾶς πνεύματος ἁγίου
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
Μνημονεύετε τῶν ἡγουμένων ὑμῶν οἵτινες ἐλάλησαν ὑμῖν τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ ὧν ἀναθεωροῦντες τὴν ἔκβασιν τῆς ἀναστροφῆς μιμεῖσθε τὴν πίστιν
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
ἃ καὶ ἐμάθετε καὶ παρελάβετε καὶ ἠκούσατε καὶ εἴδετε ἐν ἐμοί ταῦτα πράσσετε· καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἔσται μεθ' ὑμῶν
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
καὶ ὅταν τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα ἐκβάλῃ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν πορεύεται καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῷ ἀκολουθεῖ ὅτι οἴδασιν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ·
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
μηδ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
