Philippians 3:13-21 ▼

13 Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing -- forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

15 As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.

17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

18 (for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)

20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,

21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
