Philippians 3
1 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.
De cetero fratres mei gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.
2 Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!
Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.
3 For we are the circumcision, who are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in flesh,
Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Iesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
4 though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in flesh, I more:
quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,
5 circumcision on the eighth day! Of the race of Israel! Of the tribe of Benjamin! A Hebrew of Hebrews! According to law—a Pharisee!
circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israel, de tribu Beniamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem Pharisæus,
6 According to zeal—persecuting the Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!
secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum iustitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela:
7 But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the Christ;
Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.
8 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,
Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Iesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,
9 not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,
et inveniar in illo non habens meam iustitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Iesu: quæ ex Deo est iustitia in fide
10 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis eius, et societatem Passionum illius: configuratus morti eius:
11 if anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:
12 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;
non quod iam acceperim, aut iam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Iesu.
13 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—
Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem: quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero, quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,
14 I pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu.
15 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God reveal to you,
Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.
16 but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;
Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
17 together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;
Imitatores mei estote fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.
18 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,
Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.
quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
20 For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—
Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem expectamus Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum,
21 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.
qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subiicere sibi omnia.
