Philippians 3
1 Moreouer, my brethren, reioyce in the Lord. It grieueth mee not to write the same things to you, and for you it is a sure thing.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is really not irksome to me, but safe for you.
2 Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the excision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh:
For we are the circumcision, men who worship in spirit to God, and who boast in Christ Jesus, and not being confident in flesh.
4 Though I might also haue confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I,
Although (I having confidence also in flesh) if any other man seems to be confident in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eight day, of the kinred of Israel, of the tribe of Beniamin, an Ebrewe of the Ebrewes, by the Lawe a Pharise.
in circumcision the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable.
regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in law, having become blameless.
7 But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
But whatever was gain to me, these things I regarded loss because of the Christ.
8 Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ,
But indeed therefore I even consider all things to be loss because of things surpassing, of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered the loss of all things, and consider them to be rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,
9 And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith,
and be found in him, not having my righteousness, that from law, but that through Christ's faith-the righteousness from God based on faith-
10 That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death,
to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead:
if somehow I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had alreadie attained to it, either were alreadie perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Iesus.
Not that I have already obtained or have already been fully perfected, but I press forward, if also I might seize upon that for which also I was seized by Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not my selfe, that I haue attained to it, but one thing I doe: I forget that which is behinde, and endeuour my selfe vnto that which is before,
Brothers, I reckon myself not to have seized, but one thing, indeed forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to the things ahead,
14 And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let vs therefore as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if yee be otherwise minded, God shall reueile euen the same vnto you.
As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you.
16 Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing.
However in what we have attained, to march by the same standard, to think the same way.
17 Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample.
Brothers, become fellow-imitators of me, and watch those who so walk, just as ye have us for an example.
18 For many walke, of whom I haue told you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ:
For many walk, who (I told you often, and now also say while weeping) are enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 Whose ende is damnation, whose God is their bellie, and whose glorie is to their shame, which minde earthly things.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and the glory in their shame, who mind earthly things.
20 But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ,
For our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which also we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe.
who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.
