Philippians 3:16-21

¹⁶We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.

¹⁷My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.

¹⁸The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.

¹⁹They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.

²⁰But our homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.

²¹He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
