¹⁷Join in imitating me, brothers and sisters, and pay careful attention to those who live according to the example you have in us. ¹⁸For I have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross^s of Christ. ¹⁹Their end is destruction; their god is their stomach; their glory^t is in their shame; and they are focused on earthly things, ²⁰Our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. ²¹He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of his glorious^u body,^v by the power that enables him to subject everything to himself.

4So then, my dearly loved and longed for brothers and sisters, my joy and crown,^w in this manner stand firm^x in the Lord, dear friends.
