How does the concept of 'imitating Christ' as presented by Paul in his letters (e.g., 1 Corinthians 11:1) relate to the Hellenistic philosophical ideal of 'mimesis' (imitation), and what distinctions can be drawn between the two?
A
Paul directly adopted the Hellenistic 'mimesis' concept, viewing Christ as a perfect philosophical model.
B
Paul used 'mimesis' purely for rhetorical effect, without theological depth or connection to Christ's character.
C
While sharing a superficial similarity, Paul's 'imitation of Christ' focuses on ethical transformation rooted in grace and the Spirit, distinct from Hellenistic emphasis on intellectual and moral self-improvement.
D
Paul completely rejected the Hellenistic idea, seeing it as incompatible with Christian faith.
