Philippians 3:17–4:1

¹⁷Brothers, ^ujoin in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk ^vaccording to the example you have in us. ¹⁸For ^wmany, of whom I have often told you and now tell you ^xeven with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. ^19yTheir end is destruction, ^ztheir god is their belly, and ^athey glory in their shame, with ^bminds set on earthly things. ²⁰But ^cour citizenship is in heaven, and ^dfrom it we ^eawait a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹who will transform ^four lowly body ^gto be like his glorious body, ^hby the power that enables him even ⁱto subject all things to himself.

4Therefore, my brothers,¹ whom I love and ^jlong for, ^kmy joy and ^lcrown, ^mstand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
