Sermos Imitadores de Cristo
26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, "and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
1 Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature "God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature "of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
