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, that they are athe enemies of the cross of Christ:  
19 awhose end is destruction, bwhose god is their 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,  
21 awho 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.

Philippians 3:19

Whose god is the belly (ou to qeov h koilia). The comic poet Eupolis uses the rare word Koiliodaimwn for one who makes a god of his belly and Seneca speaks of one who abdomini servit. Sensuality in food, drink, sex then as now mastered some men. These men posed as Christians and gloried in their shame.

Who mind earthly things (oi ta epigeia fronountev). Anacoluthon. The nominative does not refer to polloi at the beginning, but with the accusative touv exqrouv in between. See Mark 12:40.
