1 Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.
1 So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.
6 And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;
5 Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
6 To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;
7 But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;
8 And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.
24 God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.
