15. As many therefore as are perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.
16. But whereto we have attained, let us walk in the same steps.
17. Be imitators all together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
18. (for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19. whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and their glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)
20. for our commonwealth has its existence in the heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour,
21. who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of the power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
