< Philippians 3 >

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
το λοιπον αδελφοι μου χαιρετε εν κυριω τα αυτα γραφειν υμιν εμοι μεν ουκ οκνηρον υμιν δε ασφαλεσ
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
βλεπετε τουσ κυνασ βλεπετε τουσ κακουσ εργατασ βλεπετε την κατατομην
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
ημεισ γαρ εσμεν η περιτομη οι πνευματι θεου λατρευοντεσ και καυχωμενοι εν χριστω ιησου και ουκ εν σαρκι πεποιθοτεσ
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι ει τισ δοκει αλλοσ πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι εγω μαλλον
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
περιτομη οκταημεροσ εκ γενουσ ισραηλ φυλησ βενιαμιν εβραιοσ εξ εβραιων κατα νομον φαρισαιοσ
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
κατα ζηλον διωκων την εκκλησιαν κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενοσ αμεμπτοσ
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
αλλ ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν
8 More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
αλλα μεν ουν και ηγουμαι παντα ζημιαν ειναι δια το υπερεχον τησ γνωσεωσ χριστου ιησου του κυριου μου δι ον τα παντα εζημιωθην και ηγουμαι σκυβαλα ειναι ινα χριστον κερδησω
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
και ευρεθω εν αυτω μη εχων εμην δικαιοσυνην την εκ νομου αλλα την δια πιστεωσ χριστου την εκ θεου δικαιοσυνην επι τη πιστει
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν τησ αναστασεωσ αυτου και την κοινωνιαν των παθηματων αυτου συμμορφουμενοσ τω θανατω αυτου
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
ει πωσ καταντησω εισ την εξαναστασιν των νεκρων
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
ουχ οτι ηδη ελαβον η ηδη τετελειωμαι διωκω δε ει και καταλαβω εφ ω και κατεληφθην υπο του χριστου ιησου
13 Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
αδελφοι εγω εμαυτον ου λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι εν δε τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενοσ τοισ δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενοσ
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
κατα σκοπον διωκω επι το βραβειον τησ ανω κλησεωσ του θεου εν χριστω ιησου
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
οσοι ουν τελειοι τουτο φρονωμεν και ει τι ετερωσ φρονειτε και τουτο ο θεοσ υμιν αποκαλυψει
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
πλην εισ ο εφθασαμεν τω αυτω στοιχειν κανονι το αυτο φρονειν
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε αδελφοι και σκοπειτε τουσ ουτωσ περιπατουντασ καθωσ εχετε τυπον ημασ
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
πολλοι γαρ περιπατουσιν ουσ πολλακισ ελεγον υμιν νυν δε και κλαιων λεγω τουσ εχθρουσ του σταυρου του χριστου
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
ων το τελοσ απωλεια ων ο θεοσ η κοιλια και η δοξα εν τη αισχυνη αυτων οι τα επιγεια φρονουντεσ
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοισ υπαρχει εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον
21 who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
οσ μετασχηματισει το σωμα τησ ταπεινωσεωσ ημων εισ το γενεσθαι αυτο συμμορφον τω σωματι τησ δοξησ αυτου κατα την ενεργειαν του δυνασθαι αυτον και υποταξαι εαυτω τα παντα
