    Paul was a good example. Paul said in 1st Cor. 11:1, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." How did Paul set a good example?

    Choose paths inside God’s bounds that lead to purity. Choose to love one another and so reflect Christ. Choose hard work leading to character that honors Christ. Choose to grieve in hope because God has made death sure in Him.
