When Paul wrote that it was in the context of his description of himself as a "fool for Christ" (vs. 10). He says: "we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless, when persecuted we endure; when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of hte world, the refuse of all things" (verses 11-13). This is what we are entreated to imitate. To live a life worthy of imitation was Paul's experience and should be our goal.

To say, "watch me" is a very faithful statement. Faithful in what the Lord will show others through her. She could have easily said nothing therefore turning down the heat for herself. Very cool!
