EXAMPLE
Regarding children specifically:
Proverbs 20:11 "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right."
I Timothy 4:12 "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
Related to believers of all ages:
Titus 2:7 "In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,"
Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." (The truest of friendships sharpen one another by “words fitly spoken”, but also by example.)
Hebrews 4:11 "Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
I Peter 3:1 "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; " (conversation meaning lifestyle, behavior, or example)
Christ’s example:

John 13:15 "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."
His example involved enduring suffering.
I Peter 2:21 "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
