Philippians 3
20;
20 But our citizenship is in
heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, (2)

11 and so, somehow, attaining to
the resurrection from the dead.

18 For,
as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many
live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
(9)
19 Their destiny is destruction,
their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is
set on earthly things.

9 and be found in Him, not having
a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through
faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis
of faith. (9)
10 I want to know Christ—yes, to
know the power of His resurrection and participation in His sufferings,
becoming like Him in His death,

Following Paul’s
Example
15 All
of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some
point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. (6)
16 Only let us live up
to what we have already attained.
17 Join together in
following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model,
keep your eyes on those who live as we do.

a safeguard for you.
2 Watch out for those
dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh.

reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put
