Imitate me and those who live as I do. Remember that there are many people who are bad examples, as shown by their lustful behavior, wanting to do what their bodies desire. But as for us, Christ will transform our weak bodies to be like his glorious heavenly body.

Philippians 3:17-21

17 My fellow believers, all of you should follow my example, and observe those people who act as I do, in order that you may imitate them also. 18 Keep in mind that there are many people who say that they believe in Christ, but who act in such a way that shows that they are opposed to the teaching about Christ dying on the cross [MTY]. I have told you about those people many times before, and now I am sad, even crying, as I tell you about them again. 19 God will severely punish them. The things their bodies desire [MTY] have become like gods to them [MET]. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only about what unbelievers [MTY] think about. 20 But remember that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to return from there. 21 By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
