Philippians 3:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 For I have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross(A) of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction; their god is their stomach; their glory(B) is in their shame. They are focused on earthly things, 20 but our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 17:14-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 I have given them Your word.
The world hated(A) them
because they are not of the world,(B)
as I am not of the world.(C)
15 I am not praying
that You take them out of the world
but that You protect them from the evil one.(D)
16 They are not of the world,
as I am not of the world.(E)
17 Sanctify[a](F) them by the truth;(G)
Your word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world,(H)
I also have sent them into the world.

9 But you are a chosen race,[a](A)[b] a royal priesthood,(B)[c]

but now you are God’s people;
you had not received mercy,(G)

A Call to Good Works
11 Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents(H) to abstain(I) from fleshly(J) desires that war against you.[h](K) 12 Conduct(L) yourselves honorably among the Gentiles,[i] so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do what is evil, they will, by observing your good works, glorify God on the day of visitation.[j](M)
13 Submit(N) to every human authority[k] because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor[l] as the supreme authority(O)

Romans 7:21-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 So I discover this principle:[a](A) When I want to do what is good, evil is with me. 22 For in my inner self[b] I joyfully agree with God’s law.(B) 23 But I see a different law in the parts of my body,[c](C) waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.[d] 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this dying body?(D)
