G3401–μιμέομαι–mimeomai

For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai “to imitate”

Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai “you to imitate”

Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

μιμεῖσθε mimeisthe “do imitate”

My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

μιμοῦ mimou “do imitate”
