Phil 3:17–4:1 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the example you have from me. For there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tears in my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ’s

On our path of following Christ, we are called to overcome – with God’s help – all these limitations to our freedom, so that they do not
