Philippians 3:17-4:1

GOD’S WORD Translation

Imitate Me

¹⁷Brothers and sisters, imitate me, and pay attention to those who live by the example we have given you. ¹⁸I have often told you, and now tell you with tears in my eyes, that many live as the enemies of the cross of Christ. ¹⁹In the end they will be destroyed. Their own emotions are their god, and they take pride in the shameful things they do. Their minds are set on worldly things. ²⁰We, however, are citizens of heaven. We look forward to the Lord Jesus Christ coming from heaven as our Savior. ²¹Through his power to bring everything under his authority, he will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorified body.
