Philippians 3:13-21 ▼

13 brothers, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold [of it], but one thing [I do]—indeed forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth to the things before—

14 I pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God reveal to you,

16 but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;

17 together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;

18 for many walk of whom I told you [about] many times—and now also weeping tell—[they are] the enemies of the Cross of the Christ,

19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.

20 For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—

21 who will transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working of His power, even to subject all things to Himself.
