Philippians 3:16-21

NCV

NIV

16 But we should continue following the truth we already have.
16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
17 Brothers and sisters, all of you should try to follow my example and to copy those who live the way we showed you.
17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.
18 Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have often told you about them, and it makes me cry to tell you about them now.
18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 In the end, they will be destroyed. They do whatever their bodies want, they are proud of their shameful acts, and they think only about earthly things.
19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.
20 But our homeland is in heaven, and we are waiting for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 By his power to rule all things, he will change our simple bodies and make them like his own glorious body.
21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
