Paul’s letter to the PhilippiansPart 3

27 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner

worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or

only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and

one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.

Philippians 1: 27

14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become

blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among

them like stars in the sky.

Philippians 2: 14-15

Philippians 1: 27

They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. As citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native

country, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers. They marry, as do all

[others]; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring.

They have a common table, but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but

they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of

heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by

their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all.
