Pseudo-Clement, on Heb 13:7

“Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,”

“Moreover, also, Elijah and Elisha, and many other holy men, we find to have lived a holy and spotless life. If, therefore, thou desirest to be like these, imitate them with all thy power. For the Scripture has said, "The elders who are among you, honour; and, seeing their manner of life and conduct, imitate their faith." [Hebrews 13:7] And again it saith, "Imitate me, my brethren, as I imitate Christ." [1 Corinthians 11:1]”
