Philippians 3:17-4:1
Legacy Standard Bible

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

Rejoice in the Lord Always

4 Therefore my brothers, loved and (Q)longed for, my joy and crown, in this way (R)stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

Philippians 3:17-4:1
New International Version

17 Join together in following my example,(A) brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.(B) 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears,(C) many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.(D) 19 Their destiny(E) is destruction, their god is their stomach,(F) and their glory is in their shame.(G) Their mind is set on earthly things.(H) 20 But our citizenship(I) is in heaven.(J) And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,(K) 21 who, by the power(L) that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies(M) so that they will be like his glorious body.(N)

Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity

4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for,(O) my joy and crown, stand firm(P) in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
