In fact, the apostle Paul, who himself had to contend with many hardships and obstacles, encouraged Christians to imitate his fine example and that of other mature Christians.
Apustulis Pāvils, kam pašam bija jāiztur daudz grūtību un jāpārvar daudz šķēršļu, rosināja kristiešus sekot viņa un citu nobriedušu kristiešu labajam piemēram.
