Philippians 3:18

You see, there are a lot of people that don’t live the right way. I have often told you this before, and now I’m telling you the same thing again. When I think about it, I get so sad that I cry. There are people that reckon they are Christians, but they are really enemies of Jesus Christ. They live in a way that shows they are against the good things that Jesus died for on the cross.

Instead, they think they are smart. They only think about the things that belong to this world. And in the end God will finish them up for ever.
