Young's Literal Translation
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 .
As
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 `is'
sure;
Watch
out
for
those
dogs, those
workers
of
evil, those
mutilators
of
the flesh!
look
to
the
dogs, look
to
the
evil -workers
, look
to
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, who by the Spirit are
serving
God, and
glorying
in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having
no
trust,
though I myself
could
have such
confidence
. If anyone
else
thinks
he
has
grounds
for
confidence
in the
flesh, I have
more :
though I also
have `cause
of'
trust
in
flesh
. If any
other
one
doth
think
to
have
trust
in 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 ;
circumcision
on the eighth day !
of the race
of Israel !
of the tribe of Benjamin !
a Hebrew of Hebrews !
according
to law a Pharisee !
as
to zeal ,
persecuting the church;
as
to righteousness in the
law ,
faultless.
according
to zeal persecuting the assembly!
according
to righteousness that
is
in law becoming
blameless!
But whatever
was
gain
to me I count
as
loss
for
the
sake
of Christ .
But what
things
were
to me gains,
these
I have
counted,
because
of the
Christ ,
loss;
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
yes
, 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,
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 .
not having my righteousness ,
which
`is'
of
law, but that which `
is '
through faith of
Christ --
the righteousness that
is
of
God by
the 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,
to know him,
and the power of his rising
again,
and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
and
so,
somehow,
to
attain to the resurrection
from
the dead.
if
anyhow
I
may
attain to the rising
again
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 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;
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 do not reckon
myself to have laid
hold ;
and
one thing --
the
things
behind indeed
forgetting
, and
to
the
things
before
stretching
forth
--
I
press
on
toward
the
goal
to win
the prize of God’s
heavenly
calling in Christ Jesus.
to the mark
I
pursue
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.
As
many,
therefore,
as
`
are '
perfect
--
let
us
think
this ,
and if `in'
anything
ye
think otherwise
, this
also
shall
God reveal to you ,
Nevertheless,
we
must
live
up
to what we have already
attained.
but
to what we have come
--
by
the
same
rule
walk,
the
same
thing
think;
Join
one
another
in
following
my
example
, brothers
, and carefully
observe those who
walk
according to
the
pattern we
set
for
you.
become
followers
together
of
me
, brethren
, and observe those thus
walking,
according as
ye
have
us
--
a
pattern ;
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
many
times
I told you --
and now also
weeping
tell
--
the
enemies of the cross of the
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 '
the
belly, and whose
glory `
is '
in their shame ,
who
the
things on
earth
are
minding
.
But
our citizenship is in heaven
, and
we eagerly
await a
Savior
from
there,
the Lord Jesus Christ ,
For
our citizenship is in the
heavens
, whence
also
a
Saviour
we await --
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
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
.
