15 Therefore let us, as many as are amature, bhave this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, cGod will reveal even this to you.
16 Nevertheless, to thedegree that we have already1 attained, alet us walk bby the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
Our Citizenship in Heaven
17 Brethren, ajoin in following my example, and note those who so walk, as byou have us for a pattern.
18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, thattheyareathe enemies of the cross of Christ:
19awhose end is destruction, bwhose god istheir belly, and cwhose glory is in their shame—dwho set their mind on earthly things.
20 For aour citizenship is in heaven, bfrom which we also ceagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21awho will transform our lowly body that it may be bconformed to His glorious body, caccording to the working by which He is able even to dsubdue all things to Himself.
Paul also writes in I Corinthians 11:1, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." These verses clearly invite the brethren to observe the apostle's conduct, judge if it conforms to the life Christ lived and taught, and choose to live that way as well.
