Imitate the way in which I serve Christ.
1 Corinthians 4:14-17
14 I am writing this to you, not to make you feel ashamed, but instead to warn you as though you were my own dear children. 15 I say that because as an apostle of Christ Jesus I was the first one who proclaimed the good message to you. As a result, I was the one who enabled you to have eternal life. So even if there were thousands of Christians who instruct you [MET], I am the only one who became like a father to you. 16 So I urge you to live for Christ the way I do. 17 In order to help you do that, I have sent/will be sending Timothy to you. I love him as though he were my son. He serves the Lord faithfully. He will remind you of the way I conduct my life as one who ◄has a close relationship with/belongs to► the Lord. The way I conduct my life is the same as how I teach others to live in all the congregations to whom I have spoken.
