Philippians 3:18-19 Part 2 of 2

For as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.  

and their glory is in their shame 
Romans 6:21  What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
Proverbs 13:18  Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
Proverbs 18:13  To answer before listening--that is folly and shame.
Jeremiah 8:9  " 'The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?' " 
Jeremiah 8:12  " 'Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.' "
1 Corinthians 1:27-29  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.

Their mind is set on earthly things 
Romans 8:5-8   Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 
Colossians 3:2  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
