Philippians 3:17-4:1

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ ¶ Brethren, be imitators of me and consider those who so walk, as ye have us for a pattern.

¹⁸ (For many walk, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Christ;

¹⁹ whose end shall be perdition, whose God is their belly and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things).

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

²¹ Who shall transform our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is also able to subdue all things unto himself.

4 ¶ Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
