Philippians 3:16

14 ^aI press toward the goal for the prize of ^bthe upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

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 the degree 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, 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.
