Philippians 3:19

Read in context

Philippians 3:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

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 subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
