Philippians 3

1 For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.

As to the rest, my brothers, rejoice in the LORD; indeed, [it] is not tiresome to me to write to you the same things, and for you [is] sure.

2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.

Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.

For we are the circumcision, who are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in flesh,

4 Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:

though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in flesh, I more:

5 as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;

circumcision on the eighth day! Of the race of Israel! Of the tribe of Benjamin! A Hebrew of Hebrews! According to law—a Pharisee!

6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;

According to zeal—persecuting the Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!

7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the Christ;

8 But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,

9 and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,

not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,

10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

11 if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.

if anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].

Not that I already obtained, or have already been perfected, but I pursue, if I also may lay hold of that for which I was also laid hold of by Christ Jesus;

13 Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

brothers, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold [of it], but one thing [I do]—indeed forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth to the things before—

14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

I pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God reveal to you,

16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.

but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;

17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;

18 (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:

for many walk of whom I told you [about] many times—and now also weeping tell—[they are] the enemies of the Cross of the Christ,

19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )

whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.

20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,

For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—

21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.

who will transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working of His power, even to subject all things to Himself.
