| 1 For the rest, my brethren–rejoice in the Lord. To be writing, the same things, unto you, to me, is not irksome, while, for you, is safe:– |
|
| 2 Beware of the dogs, beware of mischievous workers, beware of the mutilation; |
|
| 3 For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence,– |
|
| |
|
| 4 Although, indeed, I, might have confidence even in flesh. If any other thinketh to have confidence in flesh, I, more:– |
|
| 5 Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews,–regarding law, a Pharisee, |
|
| 6 Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless. |
|
| 7 But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ's sake, loss; |
|
| 8 Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win, |
|
| |
|
| 9 And be found in him–not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith,– |
|
| 10 To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death,– |
|
| 11 If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead: |
|
| 12 Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on–if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ [Jesus]:– |
|
| 13 Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however,–the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out, |
|
| 14 With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. |
|
| |
|
| 15 As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal. |
|
| 16 Nevertheless, whereunto we have advanced, in the same rank, stepping along. |
|
| |
|
| 17 Imitators together of me, become ye, brethren, and keep an eye on them who, thus, are walking,–even as ye have, us, for, an ensample. |
|
| 18 For, many, are walking–of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling,–the enemies of the cross of the Christ;
|
|
| 19 Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved. |
|
| 20 For, our citizenship, in the heavens, hath its rise; wherefore, a Saviour also, do we ardently await,–The Lord Jesus Christ,– |
|
| 21 Who will transfigure our humbled body, into conformity with his glorified body, according to the energy wherewith he is able even to subdue, unto himself, all things. |
