King James Version
Finally, my brothers
, rejoice in the Lord. It
is
no
trouble
for
me
to write the same things to you again
, and
it
is a
safeguard
for you.
Finally, my brethren
, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to
me
indeed
is not
grievous,
but
for you it
is
safe
.
Watch
out
for
those
dogs, those
workers
of evil, those
mutilators
of the flesh!
Beware
of
dogs, beware
of evil workers
, beware
of the concision.
For it
is
we who
are the circumcision, we
who
worship by
the Spirit of
God
, who
glory
in Christ Jesus, and who
put
no confidence in the flesh —
For we are the circumcision, which
worship God
in
the spirit, and
rejoice
in Christ Jesus, and have
no confidence in the flesh .
though I myself
could
have such
confidence. If anyone
else
thinks
he has
grounds
for
confidence
in the flesh, I have
more:
Though I might
also
have confidence in
the
flesh
. If any
other
man
thinketh
that
he hath
whereof
he
might
trust
in the flesh, I more:
circumcised on
the eighth day, of the people
of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin ;
a
Hebrew of Hebrews; as to
the law, a Pharisee;
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock
of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin ,
an
Hebrew of the
Hebrews; as touching
the law, a Pharisee;
as
to
zeal, persecuting the church; as
to
righteousness in the law, faultless
.
Concerning
zeal, persecuting the church; touching
the
righteousness which
is
in the law, blameless
.
But whatever
was
gain to me I count
as
loss for the
sake
of
Christ.
But what
things
were
gain to me ,
those
I counted
loss for Christ.
More
than
that
, I count all things as
loss compared
to
the surpassing
excellence
of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord ,
for whom I have lost
all things .
I
consider
them rubbish
, that I may gain
Christ
Yea
doubtless
, and
I count all things but
loss for
the excellency
of the
knowledge
of
Christ Jesus my Lord :
for whom I have suffered
the
loss
of
all things ,
and
do
count
them but
dung
, that I may win
Christ ,
and be found in Him, not having my
own righteousness from
the law, but that which is through faith in
Christ, the righteousness from
God
on
the
basis
of faith .
And be found in him, not having mine
own righteousness ,
which
is
of
the law, but that which is through the
faith of
Christ, the righteousness which
is
of God
by
faith :
I want
to
know Christ
and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed
to
Him
in
His death ,
That
I may
know him,
and the power of his resurrection ,
and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable
unto
his death ;
and
so,
somehow,
to
attain to
the resurrection from
the dead.
If
by
any
means
I
might
attain unto
the resurrection of
the dead.
Not that
I have
already obtained
all
this
, or
have
already been
made
perfect ,
but I press
on
to
take
hold
of
that for which Christ Jesus took
hold
of
me
.
Not as
though
I had
already attained
, either
were
already perfect :
but I follow
after,
if
that I
may
apprehend
that
for which also
I
am
apprehended
of
Christ Jesus.
Brothers
, I do
not consider
myself yet
to have taken
hold
of
it.
But one thing I do :
Forgetting what
is
behind and straining
toward
what
is
ahead
,
Brethren
, I count
not myself to have apprehended:
but this
one thing I do ,
forgetting those
things
which
are
behind ,
and reaching
forth
unto
those
things
which
are
before
,
I press on
toward the goal
to
win
the prize of God’s
heavenly
calling in Christ Jesus.
I press toward the mark
for
the prize of the
high
calling of
God
in Christ Jesus.
All
of
us who
are
mature
should
embrace
this
point
of
view.
And if you
think
differently
about
some
issue
, God will
reveal this to
you as
well
.
Let
us therefore,
as
many
as
be
perfect,
be
thus
minded:
and if in
any
thing
ye
be
otherwise
minded
, God shall
reveal even
this unto
you.
Nevertheless, we
must
live
up
to
what
we have already attained.
Nevertheless, whereto
we have already attained ,
let
us
walk
by
the
same
rule,
let
us
mind
the
same
thing
.
Join
one
another
in
following
my
example
, brothers
, and carefully
observe
those
who
walk according
to
the
pattern
we
set
for you
.
Brethren
, be
followers
together
of
me
, and mark
them
which
walk so
as
ye
have
us
for an
ensample
.
For as
I have often
told you before
, and now say
again
even with
tears:
Many
live
as
enemies of the cross of Christ .
(
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 :
Their
end is destruction, their
god is their belly, and their
glory is in their shame .
Their
minds
are
set
on
earthly things.
Whose
end is destruction, whose
God is their belly, and whose
glory is in their shame ,
who
mind
earthly things. )
But
our citizenship
is in heaven ,
and
we
eagerly
await
a
Savior
from there
, the Lord Jesus Christ ,
For
our conversation
is in heaven ;
from whence
also
we
look
for
the
Saviour
, the Lord Jesus Christ :
who, by
the
power
that enables
Him
to
subject
all
things
to
Himself,
will
transform
our
lowly
bodies
to
be like His glorious body.
Who shall
change
our
vile
body
, that it
may
be fashioned
like unto
his glorious body ,
according
to
the
working
whereby
he
is
able
even
to
subdue
all
things
unto
himself
.
