Philippians 3:14-4:1

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly^[a] call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. ¹⁶ Only let us hold fast to what we have attained.

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters,^[b] join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. ¹⁸ For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. ¹⁹ Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. ²⁰ But our citizenship^[c] is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. ²¹ He will transform the body of our humiliation^[d] that it may be conformed to the body of his glory,^[e] by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. 4 ¹ Therefore, my brothers and sisters,^[f] whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
