The Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians 3: 17- 4:1

3:17	Be imitators of me, cov kwv tij, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.
3:18	For many persons, about whom I have often told you (and now tell you, weeping,) are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ.
3:19	Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.
3:20	But our way of life is in heaven. And from heaven, ib yam nkaus, we await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ,
3:21	who will transform the body of our lowliness, according to the form of the body of his glory, by means of that power by which he is even able to subject all things to himself.

Philippians 4

4:1	Thiab yog li ntawd, my most beloved and most desired brothers, my joy and my crown: stand firm in this way, in the Lord, most beloved.

16:2 But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,'

16:3 and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?

16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, nws mus lawm.

16:5 And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.

16:6 Thiab nws hais rau lawv, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

16:7 But they were thinking within themselves, hais, “It is because we have not brought bread.”

16:8 Then Jesus, knowing this, hais: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?
