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.
HENCEFORTH, my brethren, rejoice in our Lord. To write the very same (things) to you, to me is not weariness, because they make you cautious.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the cutting of the flesh.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Ruach, and rejoice in Messiah Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh;
For the circumcision are we, who serve Aloha in the spirit, and glory in Jeshu the Meshiha, and confide not on the flesh.
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:
Yet I may have confidence on the flesh. For if any one consider that his confidence is in the flesh, I more than he.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Circumcised the son of eight days, of the family of Israel, of the tribe of Benyomin, Ebroia of Ebroyee; in the law, Pharisha;
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the congregation; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
in zeal, a persecutor of the church; and in the righteousness of the law, without fault have I been.
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Messiah.
But these things which were my gain, I have reckoned loss for the Meshiha;
8 More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Messiah Yeshua, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Messiah
and I also (still) reckon them all loss, for the grandeur of the knowledge of Jeshu Meshiha my Lord; for whose sake I have lost all things, and have reckoned as dung, that the Meshiha I may gain,
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 Messiah, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of the Meshiha, which is righteousness that is from Aloha:
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
that in it I may know Jeshu, and the power of his resurrection, and have fellowship in his sufferings, and be conformed into his death,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
that any how I may be able to come to the resurrection which is from among the dead.
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 Messiah Yeshua.
I have not yet received, nor (am I) yet perfected; but I run, that so I may lay hold on that for the sake of which Jeshu the Meshiha hath laid hold on me.
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,
MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Messiah Yeshua.
I stretch, and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.
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.
Let those, then, who are mature consider these things; and if otherwise you consider, this also will Aloha reveal to you.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Nevertheless, that to this we may attain, in one way let us proceed, and with one consent.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Be like me, my brethren, and consider them who so walk according to the pattern you have seen in us.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Messiah,
For there are many who walk otherwise, of whom many times I have told you, but now weeping I tell you, they are adversaries of the cross of the Meshiha;
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
they, whose end is perdition, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame; they, whose mind is in the earth.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah;
But our employment is in heaven, and from thence we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
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.
who will change the body of our abasement to make (it) in the fashion of his glorious body, according to his great power, by which all is subjected unto him.
