16However, whatever we have reached, let us hold on to it.
17Be imitators of me, brothers. Closely watch those who are walking by the example that you have in us.
18Many are walking—those about whom I have often told you, and now I am telling you with tears—as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19Their end is destruction. For their god is their stomach, and their pride is in their shame. They think about earthly things.
20But our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
21He will transform our lowly bodies into bodies formed like his glorious body, formed by the might of his power to subject all things to himself.
