Philippenses 3
1 De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.
As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you [is] sure;
2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.
look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
3 Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Jesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
4 quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,
though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;
5 circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israël, de tribu Benjamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem pharisæus,
circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
6 secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum justitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela.
according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
7 Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.
But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
8 Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Jesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
9 et inveniar in illo non habens meam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Jesu: quæ ex Deo est justitia in fide,
not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ — the righteousness that is of God by the faith,
10 ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis ejus, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti ejus:
to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:
if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
12 non quod jam acceperim, aut jam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Jesu.
Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
13 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem, quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,
brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing — the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth —
14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Jesu.
to the mark I pursue 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.
As many, therefore, as [are] perfect — let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
16 Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
but to what we have come — by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
17 Imitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.
become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us — a pattern;
18 Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:
for many walk of whom many times I told you — and now also weeping tell — the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
19 quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
20 Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem exspectamus Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await — the Lord Jesus Christ —
21 qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subjicere sibi omnia.
who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.
