Philippians 3:16-21

Weymouth New Testament WNT

16 But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.

17 Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.

18 For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.

19 Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted to earthly things.

20 We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.

New International Version NIV

16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

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 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 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 citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

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.
