Citizenship in Heaven

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.
