Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.

Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith.

Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

Remember your leaders and superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living (the outcome of their well-spent lives) and imitate their faith (their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, and their leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness).

Be constantly remembering those ruling over you, especially as they are those who spoke to you the word of God, whose faith imitate as you closely observe the outcome of their manner of life.

Never forget your leaders, who first spoke to you the Word of God. Remember the result of their lives, and imitate their faith.

You must not forget your former leaders, for it was they who brought you the message of God. Consider how they closed their lives; imitate their faith.
