Imitators of me (mimētai mou). In the principle of considerate love as so clearly shown in chapters 1 Corinthians 8-10 and in so far as (kathōs) Paul is himself an imitator of Christ. The preacher is a leader and is bound to set an example or pattern (tupos) for others (Tit 2:7). This verse clearly belongs to the preceding chapter and not to chapter 11.
