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.

New King James Version
Our Citizenship in Heaven
17 Brethren, (A)join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as (B)you 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 (C)the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 (D)whose end is destruction, (E)whose god is their belly, and (F)whose glory is in their shame—(G)who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For (H)our citizenship is in heaven, (I)from which we also (J)eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 (K)who will transform our lowly body that it may be (L)conformed to His glorious body, (M)according to the working by which He is able even to (N)subdue all things to Himself.
Be Anxious for Nothing; Think These Thoughts
4 Therefore, my beloved and (O)longed-for brethren, (P)my joy and crown, so (Q)stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
