Philippians 3:13–21

¹³Brothers and sisters, I do not^A consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind^p and reaching forward to what is ahead, ¹⁴I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly^B call in Christ Jesus.^{q 15}Therefore, let all of us who are mature think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal^r this also to you. ¹⁶In any case, we should live up to whatever truth we have attained. 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.
