Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.

  • who set their mind on earthly things

To be an enemy of the cross is to set your mind on earthly things so that you walk according to the flesh, rather than walk according to the Spirit who desires to lead us to practice the way of love and righteousness.
