17 Brothers, (I)join in following my example, and (J)look for those who walk according to the (K)pattern you have in us. 18 For (L)many walk—of whom I often told you, and now tell you even (M)crying—as enemies of (N)the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their (O)stomach and (P)glory is in their shame, who (Q)set their thoughts on earthly things. 20 For (R)our [c]citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly (S)wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will (T)transform [d]the body of our humble state into (U)conformity with [e]the (V)body of His glory, (W)by His working through which He is able to even (X)subject all things to Himself.
