Προς Φιλιππησιους 3
1 το λοιπον αδελφοι μου χαιρετε εν κυριω τα αυτα γραφειν υμιν εμοι μεν ουκ οκνηρον υμιν δε ασφαλες
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 βλεπετε τους κυνας βλεπετε τους κακους εργατας βλεπετε την κατατομην
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
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, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι ει τις δοκει αλλος πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι εγω μαλλον
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 περιτομη οκταημερος εκ γενους ισραηλ φυλης βενιαμιν εβραιος εξ εβραιων κατα νομον φαρισαιος
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 κατα ζηλος διωκων την εκκλησιαν κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενος αμεμπτος
Concerning zeal, persecuting the Assembly; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 {VAR1: αλλα } {VAR2: [αλλα] } ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 αλλα μενουνγε και ηγουμαι παντα ζημιαν ειναι δια το υπερεχον της γνωσεως χριστου ιησου του κυριου μου δι ον τα παντα εζημιωθην και ηγουμαι σκυβαλα ινα χριστον κερδησω
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
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 mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν της αναστασεως αυτου και {VAR1: κοινωνιαν } {VAR2: [την] κοινωνιαν [των] } παθηματων αυτου συμμορφιζομενος τω θανατω αυτου
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 ει πως καταντησω εις την εξαναστασιν την εκ νεκρων
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 ουχ οτι ηδη ελαβον η ηδη τετελειωμαι διωκω δε ει και καταλαβω εφ ω και κατελημφθην υπο χριστου [ιησου]
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 αδελφοι εγω εμαυτον {VAR1: ουπω } {VAR2: ου } λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι εν δε τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενος τοις δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενος
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 κατα σκοπον διωκω εις το βραβειον της ανω κλησεως του θεου εν χριστω ιησου
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 οσοι ουν τελειοι τουτο φρονωμεν και ει τι ετερως φρονειτε και τουτο ο θεος υμιν αποκαλυψει
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 πλην εις ο εφθασαμεν τω αυτω στοιχειν
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε αδελφοι και σκοπειτε τους ουτως περιπατουντας καθως εχετε τυπον ημας
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so 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 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 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 their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοις υπαρχει εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 ος μετασχηματισει το σωμα της ταπεινωσεως ημων συμμορφον τω σωματι της δοξης αυτου κατα την ενεργειαν του δυνασθαι αυτον και υποταξαι αυτω τα παντα
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
