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 brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:
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, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the 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,
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet 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.
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable.
as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for 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,
Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, 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 a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by 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,
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;
11 If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead:
if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from 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 am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may apprehend that for which also I was apprehended 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,
Brethren, I count not myself yet to have apprehended: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
I press on toward the goal unto 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.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, even this shall God reveal unto you:
16 Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing.
only, whereunto we have already attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.
17 Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample.
Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them which so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.
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, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the 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 perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is 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 is in heaven; from whence also we wait for a Saviour, 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 shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.
