Insight - human behavior

Originally, the Greek word mimeomai referred to imitating the behavior of another. According to Aristotle, at the beginning of civilization, men learned skills by imitating other living creatures, i.e., spinning from spiders and house building from swallows. In the New Testament, Paul uses this word to exhort other Christians to follow godly examples (1 Cor. 11:1). Despite his own imperfections, Paul wished to serve as a model of spiritual growth (Phil. 3:12-14).

*The point, be a good Godly example to those around you.
