Whether we like it or not we do emulate other people. The question is, who should we emulate? Paul says, "Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you." Philippians 3:17.
The first type of person we should emulate is those who are interested in the well-being of others and not their own. In Philippians 2 Paul gives us two examples of these kind of people, Timothy and Epaphroditus. Timothy had a servant's heart. Epaphroditus was concerned for the people in Philippi. It is interesting that his concern for them was that he had heard that they were concerned about him.
