Philippians 3:15-21 - Imitate Paul

¹⁵ So let us all who are mature have this attitude. If you have a different attitude, God will make it clear to you. ¹⁶ However, we must continue to live up to that degree of success that we have already reached. ¹⁷ Follow my example, brothers, and keep your eyes on those who practice living by the pattern we have set you. ¹⁸ For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you in tears, who practice living as the enemies of the cross of Christ. ¹⁹ Their doom is destruction, their stomach is their god, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are feeding on earthly things, ²⁰ But we are citizens of the republic in heaven, from which we are eagerly waiting for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. ²¹ He will so change the outward appearance of our lowly bodies that they will be like His glorious body, by the exertion of the power He has to subject everything to Himself.
