| 1 | ¶ For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in {the} Lord: to write the same things to you, to me {is} not irksome, and for you safe. | |
| 2 | See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision. | |
| 3 | For *we* are the circumcision, who worship by {the} Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh. | |
| 4 | ¶ Though *I* have {my} trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, *I* rather: | |
| 5 | as to circumcision, {I received it} the eighth day; of {the} race of Israel, of {the} tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to {the} law, a Pharisee; | |
| 6 | as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which {is} in {the} law, found blameless; | |
| 7 | but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss. | |
| 8 | But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ; | |
| 9 | ¶ and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which {would be} on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which {is} of God through faith, | |
| 10 | to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, | |
| 11 | if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among {the} dead. | |
| 12 | Not that I have already obtained {the prize}, or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession {of it}, seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ {Jesus}. | |
| 13 | Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing-forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before, | |
| 14 | I pursue, {looking} towards {the} goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus. | |
| 15 | ¶ As many therefore as {are} perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you. | |
| 16 | But whereto we have attained, {let us} walk in the same steps. | |
| 17 | ¶ Be imitators {all} together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model; | |
| 18 | (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 | whose end {is} destruction, whose god {is} the belly, and {their} glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:) | |
| 20 | for *our* commonwealth has its existence in {the} heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ {as} Saviour, | |
| 21 | who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of {the} power which he has even to subdue all things to himself. | |
