Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk (therein).
For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you.
Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient (even) unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
