walking as christ

⁶Whoever declares himself to remain in him, ought to walk just as he himself walked.

¹Therefore, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God. ²And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and delivered himself for us, as an oblation and a sacrifice to God, with a fragrance of sweetness.

²¹For you have been called to this because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in his footsteps.

¹⁷In this way, the love of God is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment. For as he is, so also are we, in this world.

¹⁵For I have given you an example, so that just as I have done for you, so also should you do.

⁵For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus:

¹Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.

²⁹For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined, in conformity with the image of his Son, so that he might be the Firstborn among many brothers.

²⁰I live; yet now, it is not I, but truly Christ, who lives in me. And though I live now in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and who delivered himself for me.

⁶Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him.

¹⁸Yet truly, all of us, as we gaze upon the unveiled glory of the face of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image, from one glory to another. And this is done by the Spirit of the Lord.
