Philippians 3

1As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you is necessary.

1As 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 <FI>is<Fi> sure;

2Beware of dogs: beware of evil workers: beware of the concision.

2look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;

3For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.

3for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more:

4though I also have <FI>cause of<Fi> trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;

5Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews. According to the law, a Pharisee:

5circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!

6According to zeal, persecuting the church of God: According to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.

6according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!

7But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.

7But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;

8Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ.

8yes, 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,

9And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith.

9not having my righteousness, which <FI>is<Fi> of law, but that which <FI>is<Fi> through faith of Christ--the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

10That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death,

10to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

11If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.

11if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.

12Not as though I had already attained, or were already perfect: but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.

12Not 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;

13Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: Forgetting the things that are behind and stretching forth myself to those that are before,

13brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing--the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth--

14I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.

14to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you,

15As many, therefore, as <FI>are<Fi> perfect--let us think this, and if <FI>in<Fi> anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

16Nevertheless, whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.

16but to what we have come--by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

17Be ye followers of me, brethren: and observe them who walk so as you have our model.

17become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us--a pattern;

18For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:

18for many walk of whom many times I told you--and now also weeping tell--the enemies of the cross of the Christ!

19Whose end is destruction: whose God is their belly: and whose glory is in their shame: who mind earthly things.

19whose end <FI>is<Fi> destruction, whose god <FI>is<Fi> the belly, and whose glory <FI>is<Fi> in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.

20But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,

20For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await--the Lord Jesus Christ--

21Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

21who 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.
