Philippians 3:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters, ·all of you should try to follow my example [^Lbecome imitators of me] and ·to copy [^Lwatch closely; pay attention to] those who ·live [walk] the way we ·showed [modeled it for] you. ¹⁸ [^LFor] Many people ·live [walk] like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have often told you about them, and ·it makes me cry to [^Lwith tears I] tell you about them now. ¹⁹ ·In the end, they will be destroyed [Their end/destiny is destruction]. ·They do whatever their bodies want [^LTheir god is their stomach/belly], ·they are proud of their shameful acts [^Ltheir glory is in their shame], and they think only about earthly things.
