1 hE bhrAtaraH, zESE vadAmi yUyaM prabhAvAnandata| punaH punarEkasya vacO lEkhanaM mama klEzadaM nahi yuSmadarthanjca bhramanAzakaM bhavati|

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.

2 yUyaM kukkurEbhyaH sAvadhAnA bhavata duSkarmmakAribhyaH sAvadhAnA bhavata chinnamUlEbhyO lOkEbhyazca sAvadhAnA bhavata|

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

3 vayamEva chinnatvacO lOkA yatO vayam AtmanEzvaraM sEvAmahE khrISTEna yIzunA zlAghAmahE zarIrENa ca pragalbhatAM na kurvvAmahE|

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Rukha, and rejoice in Meshikha Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh;

4 kintu zarIrE mama pragalbhatAyAH kAraNaM vidyatE, kazcid yadi zarIrENa pragalbhatAM cikIrSati tarhi tasmAd api mama pragalbhatAyA gurutaraM kAraNaM vidyatE|

though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

5 yatO'ham aSTamadivasE tvakchEdaprApta isrAyElvaMzIyO binyAmInagOSThIya ibrikulajAta ibriyO vyavasthAcaraNE phirUzI

circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israyel, of the tribe of Benyamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

6 dharmmOtsAhakAraNAt samitErupadravakArI vyavasthAtO labhyE puNyE cAnindanIyaH|

concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

7 kintu mama yadyat labhyam AsIt tat sarvvam ahaM khrISTasyAnurOdhAt kSatim amanyE|

However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Meshikha.

8 kinjcAdhunApyahaM matprabhOH khrISTasya yIzO rjnjAnasyOtkRSTatAM buddhvA tat sarvvaM kSatiM manyE|

More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Meshikha Yeshua, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Meshikha

9 yatO hEtOrahaM yat khrISTaM labhEya vyavasthAtO jAtaM svakIyapuNyanjca na dhArayan kintu khrISTE vizvasanAt labhyaM yat puNyam IzvarENa vizvAsaM dRSTvA dIyatE tadEva dhArayan yat khrISTE vidyEya tadarthaM tasyAnurOdhAt sarvvESAM kSatiM svIkRtya tAni sarvvANyavakarAniva manyE|

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Meshikha, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10 yatO hEtOrahaM khrISTaM tasya punarutthitE rguNaM tasya duHkhAnAM bhAgitvanjca jnjAtvA tasya mRtyOrAkRtinjca gRhItvA

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

11 yEna kEnacit prakArENa mRtAnAM punarutthitiM prAptuM yatE|

if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 mayA tat sarvvam adhunA prApi siddhatA vAlambhi tannahi kintu yadartham ahaM khrISTEna dhAritastad dhArayituM dhAvAmi|

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Meshikha Yeshua.

13 hE bhrAtaraH, mayA tad dhAritam iti na manyatE kintvEtadaikamAtraM vadAmi yAni pazcAt sthitAni tAni vismRtyAham agrasthitAnyuddizya

Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,

14 pUrNayatnEna lakSyaM prati dhAvan khrISTayIzunOrddhvAt mAm Ahvayata IzvarAt jEtRpaNaM prAptuM cESTE|

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Meshikha Yeshua.

15 asmAkaM madhyE yE siddhAstaiH sarvvaistadEva bhAvyatAM, yadi ca kanjcana viSayam adhi yuSmAkam aparO bhAvO bhavati tarhIzvarastamapi yuSmAkaM prati prakAzayiSyati|

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

16 kintu vayaM yadyad avagatA AsmastatrAsmAbhirEkO vidhirAcaritavya EkabhAvai rbhavitavyanjca|

Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.

17 hE bhrAtaraH, yUyaM mamAnugAminO bhavata vayanjca yAdRgAcaraNasya nidarzanasvarUpA bhavAmastAdRgAcAriNO lOkAn AlOkayadhvaM|

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

18 yatO'nEkE vipathE caranti tE ca khrISTasya kruzasya zatrava iti purA mayA punaH punaH kathitam adhunApi rudatA mayA kathyatE|

For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Meshikha,

19 tESAM zESadazA sarvvanAza udarazcEzvarO lajjA ca zlAghA pRthivyAnjca lagnaM manaH|

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

20 kintvasmAkaM janapadaH svargE vidyatE tasmAccAgamiSyantaM trAtAraM prabhuM yIzukhrISTaM vayaM pratIkSAmahE|

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Yeshua Meshikha;

21 sa ca yayA zaktyA sarvvANyEva svasya vazIkarttuM pArayati tayAsmAkam adhamaM zarIraM rUpAntarIkRtya svakIyatEjOmayazarIrasya samAkAraM kariSyati|

who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
