Philippians 3:19-20

Wycliffe Bible of 1384:

King James Bible of 1611:  "¹⁹Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
²⁰For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"

NAS Bible of 1960: "¹⁹   whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.
²⁰   For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;"

NIV Bible 1973-78: "¹⁹Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. ²⁰But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,"

NLT New Living Translation 1996:  ^"19Their future is eternal destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and all they think about is this life here on earth. ²⁰But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior."
