12. 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
13. 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.

16. 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.
17. 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.
