Paul spends time on glorification. He discusses more than just the future (as in Corinthians’ bema passages), exposing how knowledge of glory should change our lives here and now. Thinking on that, he calls for accountability and for choosing guides according to this insightful, simple breakdown:

Lost leader – live like enemies of the cross; end is destruction; concerned with personal appetites; glory in shamefulness; materialist

Wise leader – eager for Jesus; end is transformation; concerned with others; glory in becoming like Jesus; focused on heaven
