Philippenses 3
1 De cetero fratres mei gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Iesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israel, de tribu Beniamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem Pharisæus,
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 secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum iustitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela:
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Iesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,
Yes 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 et inveniar in illo non habens meam iustitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Iesu: quæ ex Deo est iustitia in fide
And be found in him, not having my 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 ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis eius, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti eius:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
11 si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:
If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 non quod iam acceperim, aut iam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Iesu.
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 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem: quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero, quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,
Brothers, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before,
14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.
16 Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Imitatores mei estote fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.
Brothers, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an ensample.
18 Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:
(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 quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem expectamus Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum,
For our conversation is in heaven; from where also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subiicere sibi omnia.
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
