Philippians 3:17-4:4

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷Brothers and sisters, ^(A)join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the ^(B)pattern you have in us. ¹⁸For ^(C)many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I ^(D)weep, that they are the enemies of ^(E)the cross of Christ, ¹⁹whose end is destruction, whose god is their ^[a]^(F)appetite, and whose ^(G)glory is in their shame, who ^(H)have their minds on earthly things. ²⁰For ^(I)our ^[b]citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly ^(J)wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; ²¹who will ^(K)transform the body of our lowly condition into ^(L)conformity with ^[c]His ^(M)glorious body, ^(N)by the exertion of the power that He has even to ^(O)subject all things to Himself.

4 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, ^[d]whom I ^(P)long to see, my joy and crown, ^(Q)stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

²I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to ^[e]^(R)live in harmony in the Lord. ³Indeed, true ^[f]companion, I ask you also, help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement as well as the rest of my ^(S)fellow workers, whose ^(T)names are in the book of life.
