This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Imitators together of me (sunmimētai mou). Found only here so far, though Plato uses summimeisthai. “Vie with each other in imitating me” (Lightfoot).
Mark (skopeite). Old verb from skopos (Phi 3:14). “Keep your eyes on me as goal.” Mark and follow, not avoid as in Rom 16:17.
An ensample (tupon). Originally the impression left by a stroke (Joh 20:25), then a pattern (mould) as here (cf. 1Th 1:7; 1Co 10:6, 1Co 10:11; Rom 5:14; Rom 6:17).
