Philippians 3:13-4:1

English Standard Version

¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: ^(A)forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for ^(B)the prize of the upward ^(C)call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let those of us who are ^(D)mature think this way, and if in anything ^(E)you think otherwise, ^(F)God will reveal that also to you. ¹⁶ Only ^(G)let us hold true to what we have attained.

¹⁷ Brothers, ^(H)join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk ^(I)according to the example you have in us. ¹⁸ For ^(J)many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you ^(K)even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. ^19 (L)Their end is destruction, ^(M)their god is their belly, and ^(N)they glory in their shame, with ^(O)minds set on earthly things. ²⁰ But ^(P)our citizenship is in heaven, and ^(Q)from it we ^(R)await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ who will transform ^(S)our lowly body ^(T)to be like his glorious body, ^(U)by the power that enables him even ^(V)to subject all things to himself.

4 Therefore, my brothers,^[a] whom I love and ^(W)long for, ^(X)my joy and ^(Y)crown, ^(Z)stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
