Read in context

Philippians 3:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.

16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.

17 Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.

18 For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
