Still‚ it is true Paul advocates for mimesis. However‚ what true imitation looks like for him is not one which leads to glorification of social order‚ but the opposite. It is this opposite‚ counter-cultural view of the cross that Paul has been articulating in all of chapter 4‚ and in 1 Corinthians 1-4 entirely.
