< Philippians 3 >
1 Finally, brothers of mine, do rejoice in [the] Lord. The same things to write to you to me myself indeed [is] not troublesome, for you however [is] safe.
For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.
2 do beware of the dogs, do beware of the evil workers, do beware of the false circumcision;
See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
3 We ourselves for are the circumcision, those in [the] Spirit (of God *N(k)O*) worshiping and glorying in Christ Jesus and not in [the] flesh having put confidence,
For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
4 though I myself have confidence even in [the] flesh. If any thinks other to have confidence in [the] flesh, I myself more:
Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:
5 circumcision on [the] eighth day, of [the] nation of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, according to [the] Law a Pharisee,
as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;
6 according to (zeal *N(k)O*) persecuting the church, according to righteousness which [is] in [the] Law having become faultless.
as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
7 But whatever things were to me gain, these I have esteemed because of Christ loss;
but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
8 But (rather *NK(o)*) also I count all things loss to be because of which is excelling the knowledge of Christ Jesus the Lord of mine because of whom all things I have lost and esteem [them] rubbish (to be *k*) that Christ I may gain
But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;
9 and may be found in Him not having my own righteousness which [is] of [the] Law but that through faith from Christ, the of God righteousness on the basis of faith,
and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,
10 to know Him and the power of the resurrection of Him and the fellowship of the sufferings of Him being conformed to the death of Him,
to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 if somehow I shall attain to the resurrection (that *N(k)O*) (out from *no*) [the] dead.
if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
12 Not for already I have obtained [it] or already (have been perfected, *NK(O)*) I am pursuing however if even I shall grasp of that for which also I was grasped by (*k*) Christ Jesus.
Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].
13 Brothers, I myself myself (not *NK(o)*) do consider to have grasped [it]; One thing however: The [things] indeed behind forgetting, to the [things] however ahead reaching forward,
Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
14 toward [the] goal I press on (for *N(k)O*) the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
15 As many as therefore [are] mature, this [way] we may reason; and if anything differently you reason, even this God to you will reveal;
As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.
16 Nevertheless to that which we have attained, by the same [we are] to walk (rule [and] by the same reasoning. *K*)
But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
17 Imitators together of me do be, brothers, and do observe those thus walking even as you have [for] a pattern us.
Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
18 Many for are walking — [of] whom often I was telling you, now indeed even weeping I say — [as] the enemies of the cross of Christ,
(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 Christ:
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is] the belly and glory [is] in the shame of them, those [things] earthly minding.
whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )
20 Of us for the citizenship in [the] heavens exists from whence also a Savior we are awaiting [the] Lord Jesus Christ,
for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
21 who will transform the body of the humiliation of us (toward to become it *K*) conformed to the body of the glory of Himself according to the working enabling Him even to subdue (to Him *N(k)O*) all things.
who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
