Exegesis
The main exhortation is completed with the second imperative mimeisthe tēn pistin {μιμεῖσθε τὴν πίστιν | mi-meî-sthe tēn pí-stin} “imitate the faith,” shifting the focus from external behavior to the inner, enduring trust that shaped the leaders’ lives. In English, the participial construction is rendered with a temporal-concessive nuance (“as you consider...”), preserving the logical progression from remembrance, to reflection, to imitation while smoothing the nested Greek relative and participial structures into two coherent sentences.
In context — Hebrews 13:7
Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God . As you carefully consider the result of their conduct , imitate their faith.
