Philippians 3:17-4:1
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 Brethren, (A)join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the (B)pattern you have in us. 18 For (C)many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even (D)weeping, that they are enemies of (E)the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their [a](F)appetite, and whose (G)glory is in their shame, who (H)set their minds on earthly things. 20 For (I)our [b]citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly (J)wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will (K)transform [c]the body of our humble state into (L)conformity with [d]the (M)body of His glory, (N)by the exertion of the power that He has even to (O)subject all things to Himself.
Think of Excellence
4 Therefore, my beloved brethren [e]whom I (P)long to see, my joy and crown, in this way (Q)stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
