Philippians 3
1 In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.
总而言之：我亲爱的朋友们，以主为喜乐！向你重复这些话，对我来说不是负担，这是为了保护你的安全！
2 Beware of 'the dogs,' the bad workmen, the self-mutilators.
小心那些狗！警惕那些做坏事的人！小心那些切割身体之人！
3 For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:
因为我们真正行了割礼，我们借着神的灵敬拜, 将我们的信心寄托于耶稣基督。我们对人的能力没有信心——
4 although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:
如果有一种方法可以去依靠人性，我自己就可以获得这样的信心！如果有人认为，他们有信心可以拥有这样的人性，那么我就可以超越他们：
5 circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee;
我在第八天受了割礼，是便雅悯支派的以色列人，一个真正的希伯来人。在遵守律法方面，我是法利赛人；
6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.
说到宗教奉献，我曾是教会的破坏者；在依法行事上，我无可指责！
7 Yet all that was gain to me--for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.
但无论我以何种方式获得任何好处，我都认为这是基督的损失。
8 Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,
确实，我把一切都视为损失，它让我通过认识我主基督耶稣获得令人难以置信的益处。我会为了他而丢掉这一切，把它们视为垃圾，我通过这种方式才拥有基督。
9 not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ--the righteousness which comes from God through faith.
我希望与他同在，并非因为我做了什么或律法所说的正确，而是通过相信基督而实现正直善良，通过对他的信任而被上帝视为正直善良。
10 I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;
我想真正了解他，以及他死而复生的能力——体验他的苦难，在他的死亡中变得像他一样，
11 in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.
好让我经历最终的复活！
12 I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.
并不是说我已经拥有一切，或者我已经很完美——但我奔跑的目的，是为赢得基督耶稣为我获得的一切。
13 Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do--forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,
我的朋友们，我不认为我已经赢得，但这是我的一个目标：不顾身后发生什么，努力向前看。
14 with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.
我奔向终点线，是为了赢得上帝通过基督耶稣邀请我进入天堂的奖品。
15 Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.
灵性成熟的人应该这样想，如果你有什么不同的想法，上帝会向你展示这一点，
16 But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.
我们只需确保遵循所了解的一切即可。
17 Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.
我的朋友们，像其他人一样，按照我的榜样行事，注意我们的行为方式，因为你们需要以我们为榜样。
18 For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.
有些人因其生活方式而与基督的十字架为敌——正如我以前经常告诉你们的那样，在此我再重复一遍，尽管这让我非常痛苦，让我想要放声痛哭。
19 Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted to earthly things.
他们最终会完全迷失，这些人的“上帝”只是其肉体欲望，本事应该让他们感到羞耻的事情，他们却引以为豪。他们只考虑今世的事情。
20 We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
但我们的祖国是天堂，我们也在等待救世主——主耶稣基督，从那里降临。
21 who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.
他会重新创造我们有缺陷的身体，让我们的身体像他那荣耀的身体一样，可以运用他那样掌控一切的力量。
