For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you{TR reads "us" instead of "you"} an example, that you should follow his steps,
Leaving you an example ... "The word from which `example' comes is found nowhere else in the New Testament";[52] and the meaning of it is very similar to words translated "figure" in  Acts 7:44 and "pattern" in  Hebrews 8:5.  The word is [@hupogrammos], and means "a writing copy,"[53] that is, a pattern for a copybook.  This is therefore a valuable witness for existence of a heavenly pattern, not merely for the building of the church and the ordering of its worship, government and program, but also for the behavior and life-style of Christians as well.
