1 So be imitators of God, as his dear children.
1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord. In spite of a great deal of suffering, you welcomed the word with the joy that the Holy Spirit produces.
5 Have the same attitude among yourselves that was also in Christ Jesus:
6 In God's own form existed he,And shared with God equality,Deemed nothing needed grasping.
7 Instead, poured out in emptiness,A servant's form did he possess,A mortal man becoming. In human form he chose to be,
8 And lived in all humility,Death on a cross obeying.
24 God is spirit,and those who worship him must worship in spiritand truth."
