Philippians 3

1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in Master. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me, indeed, is not irksome, and for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

Beware of the snarlers, beware of evil workers, beware of the excision;

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship YHWH in the spirit, and rejoice in the Messiah Yahushua, and have no confidence in the flesh.

for we are the circumcision, who worship God in spirit, who glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

Though indeed, I have a ground of confidence in the flesh, if any other thinks he has a ground of confidence--I have more.

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

Circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

with respect to zeal, persecuting the congregation; with respect to righteousness by law, I was blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for the Messiah.

But the things which were gain to me, those I have counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of the Messiah Yahushua my Master: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win the Messiah,

Yes, indeed, on this account, also, I count all things loss, for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord; (for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do account them mere refuse, that I may gain Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of the Messiah, the righteousness which is of YHWH by faith:

and be found in him, not having my righteousness by law, but that which is through the faith of Christ--the righteousness which is from God on account of this faith)--

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

that I might know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death;

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of the Messiah Yahushua.

Not that I have already laid hold, or have already become perfect; but I press on, that, indeed, I may lay hold on that, for which, also, I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Brethren, I count not myself to have laid hold of the prize; but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth toward the things before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of YHWH in the Messiah Yahushua.

I press on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God, by Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, YHWH shall reveal even this unto you.

Let us, then, as many as would be perfect, be thus minded; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal even this to you.

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Moreover, let us walk in conformity to what we have attained.

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Brethren, be imitators of men, and consider attentively those who walk so, as you have us for an example.

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 the Messiah:

(For I have often told you, and now tell you, even weeping, that many walk as the enemies of the cross of Christ;

19 Whose end is destruction, whose elohim is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetites, whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Master Yahushua the Messiah:

But we are citizens of heaven, whence, also, we earnestly expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ;

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

who will transform our humbled body into a like form with his glorious body, according to the energy of his power, even to subject all things to himself.
