Citizens of Heaven: Philippians 3:17-4:1
Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.
Follow my example. Paul could say this without arrogance because he followed Christ. The chain of imitation: Christ, then Paul, then believers.
Keep your eyes on. Watch. Observe. Learn by seeing. The Christian life is taught but also caught—absorbed by observation.
For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
