Philippians 3
1 For the rest, my brethren—rejoice in the Lord. To be writing, the same things, unto you, to me, is not irksome, while, for you, is safe: —
As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you [is] sure;
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of mischievous workers, beware of the mutilation;
look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
3 For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence, —
for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
4 Although, indeed, I, might have confidence even in flesh. If any other thinketh to have confidence in flesh, I, more: —
though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;
5 Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, —regarding law, a Pharisee,
circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
6 Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless.
according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
7 But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss;
But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
8 Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
9 And be found in him—not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, —
not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ — the righteousness that is of God by the faith,
10 To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death, —
to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead:
if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
12 Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on—if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ [Jesus]: —
Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
13 Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however, —the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out,
brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing — the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth —
14 With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal.
As many, therefore, as [are] perfect — let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
16 Nevertheless, whereunto we have advanced, in the same rank, stepping along.
but to what we have come — by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
17 Imitators together of me, become ye, brethren, and keep an eye on them who, thus, are walking, —even as ye have, us, for, an ensample.
become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us — a pattern;
18 For, many, are walking—of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling, —the enemies of the cross of the Christ;
for many walk of whom many times I told you — and now also weeping tell — the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
19 Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.
whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
20 For, our citizenship, in the heavens, hath its rise; wherefore, a Saviour also, do we ardently await, —The Lord Jesus Christ, —
For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await — the Lord Jesus Christ —
21 Who will transfigure our humbled body, into conformity with his glorified body, according to the energy wherewith he is able even to subdue, unto himself, all things.
who shall 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 to himself the all things.
