003:016 But whatever be the point that we have already reached,
let us persevere in the same course.
003:017 Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully
observe those who follow the example which we have set you.
003:018 For there are many whom I have often described to you,
and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies
to the Cross of Christ.
003:019 Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God,
their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted
to earthly things.
003:020 We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting
with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
003:021 who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject
all things to Himself, will transform this body of our
humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.
004:001 Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy
and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.
004:002 I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind,
as sisters in Christ.
004:003 Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life.
004:004 Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.
