Philippians 3:13-21 ▼

13 Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.

17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

21 who will transform our humble body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
