Philippians 3:16-21

¹⁶What is important is that we must conduct our lives according to what God has already revealed to us.

¹⁷My fellow believers, all of you should follow my example, and observe those people who act as I do, in order that you may imitate them also.

¹⁸Keep in mind that there are many people who say that they believe in Christ, but who act in such a way that shows that they are opposed to the teaching about Christ dying on the cross MTY. I have told you about those people many times before, and now I am sad, even crying, as I tell you about them again.

¹⁹God will severely punish them. The things their bodies desire MTY have become like gods to them MET. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only about what unbelievers MTY think about.

²⁰But remember that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to return from there.

²¹By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
