Προς Φιλιππησιους 3
1 το λοιπον αδελφοι μου χαιρετε εν κυριω τα αυτα γραφειν υμιν εμοι μεν ουκ οκνηρον υμιν δε ασφαλεσ
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: —
2 βλεπετε τουσ κυνασ βλεπετε τουσ κακουσ εργατασ βλεπετε την κατατομην
Beware of the dogs, beware of mischievous workers, beware of the mutilation;
3 ημεισ γαρ εσμεν η περιτομη οι πνευματι θεου λατρευοντεσ και καυχωμενοι εν χριστω ιησου και ουκ εν σαρκι πεποιθοτεσ
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, —
4 καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι ει τισ δοκει αλλοσ πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι εγω μαλλον
Although, indeed, I, might have confidence even in flesh. If any other thinketh to have confidence in flesh, I, more: —
5 περιτομη οκταημεροσ εκ γενουσ ισραηλ φυλησ βενιαμιν εβραιοσ εξ εβραιων κατα νομον φαρισαιοσ
Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, —regarding law, a Pharisee,
6 κατα ζηλον διωκων την εκκλησιαν κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενοσ αμεμπτοσ
Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless.
7 αλλ ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν
But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss;
8 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
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,
9 και ευρεθω εν αυτω μη εχων εμην δικαιοσυνην την εκ νομου αλλα την δια πιστεωσ χριστου την εκ θεου δικαιοσυνην επι τη πιστει
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, —
10 του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν τησ αναστασεωσ αυτου και την κοινωνιαν των παθηματων αυτου συμμορφουμενοσ τω θανατω αυτου
To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death, —
11 ει πωσ καταντησω εισ την εξαναστασιν των νεκρων
If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead:
12 ουχ οτι ηδη ελαβον η ηδη τετελειωμαι διωκω δε ει και καταλαβω εφ ω και κατεληφθην υπο του χριστου ιησου
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]: —
13 αδελφοι εγω εμαυτον ου λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι εν δε τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενοσ τοισ δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενοσ
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,
14 κατα σκοπον διωκω επι το βραβειον τησ ανω κλησεωσ του θεου εν χριστω ιησου
With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 οσοι ουν τελειοι τουτο φρονωμεν και ει τι ετερωσ φρονειτε και τουτο ο θεοσ υμιν αποκαλυψει
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.
16 πλην εισ ο εφθασαμεν τω αυτω στοιχειν κανονι το αυτο φρονειν
Nevertheless, whereunto we have advanced, in the same rank, stepping along.
17 συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε αδελφοι και σκοπειτε τουσ ουτωσ περιπατουντασ καθωσ εχετε τυπον ημασ
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.
18 πολλοι γαρ περιπατουσιν ουσ πολλακισ ελεγον υμιν νυν δε και κλαιων λεγω τουσ εχθρουσ του σταυρου του χριστου
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;
19 ων το τελοσ απωλεια ων ο θεοσ η κοιλια και η δοξα εν τη αισχυνη αυτων οι τα επιγεια φρονουντεσ
Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.
20 ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοισ υπαρχει εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον
For, our citizenship, in the heavens, hath its rise; wherefore, a Saviour also, do we ardently await, —The Lord Jesus Christ, —
21 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
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.
