Philippians 3:16-21

¹⁶Only we are bound to order our lives by what we have already attained.

¹⁷My friends, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.

¹⁸For there are many — of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears — who are living in enmity to the cross of the Christ.

¹⁹The end of such people is ruin; for their appetites are their God, and they glory in their shame; their minds are given up to earthly things.

²⁰But we are citizens of heaven, and from heaven we expect a saviour to come, the Lord Jesus Christ.

²¹By the exercise of his power to bring everything into subjection to himself, he will make our humble bodies like his glorious body.
