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 us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Christ left us an "example," meaning "an under-writing" (Vine, Vol. II, 54). The idea for the word came from the practice of a school master’s leaving a tablet or slate for his students to use. At the top of the slate, he has correctly formed the characters, leaving an example for his students to pattern or to copy.
