Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to
me
indeed
is not
tiresome,
but
for you it
is
safe
.
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.
Beware
of
the
dogs, beware
of the
evil workers
, beware
of the false
circumcision.
Watch
out
for
those
dogs, those
workers
of evil, those
mutilators
of the flesh!
For we are the circumcision, who worship God
in
the Spirit, and
rejoice
in Christ Jesus, and have
no confidence in the flesh ;
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 —
though I myself might
have confidence even
in
the
flesh
. If any
other
man
thinks that
he has confidence in the flesh, I yet
more:
though I myself could
have such
confidence. If anyone
else
thinks he has grounds
for
confidence in the flesh, I have
more:
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock
of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin ,
a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning
the law, a Pharisee;
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;
concerning
zeal, persecuting the assembly
; concerning
the
righteousness which
is
in the law, found
blameless
.
as
to
zeal, persecuting the church
; as
to
righteousness in the law, faultless
.
However,
what
things
were
gain to me ,
these
have
I counted
loss for Christ.
But
whatever
was
gain to me I count
as
loss for the
sake
of
Christ.
Yes
most
assuredly
, and
I count all things to
be
loss for
the
excellency
of
the knowledge
of Christ Jesus ,
my Lord, for whom I suffered
the
loss
of
all things ,
and
count
them nothing
but
refuse
, that I may gain 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
and be found in him, not having a
righteousness
of
my own ,
that
which
is
of
the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which
is
from God by
faith ;
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 .
that
I may
know him,
and the power of his resurrection ,
and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming
conformed to his death ;
I want
to
know Christ
and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being
conformed to Him
in
His death ,
if
by
any
means
I
may
attain to the resurrection from the dead.
and
so,
somehow,
to
attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained, or am
already made perfect ;
but I press on ,
if
it
is
so
that
I
may
take hold of that for which also
I
was
taken
hold
of
by
Christ Jesus.
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
.
Brothers, I don't
regard
myself as
yet having
taken hold ,
but one thing I do .
Forgetting the
things
which
are
behind ,
and stretching
forward
to
the
things
which
are
before
,
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
,
I press on toward the goal for
the prize of the
high
calling of
God
in Christ Jesus.
I press on toward the goal to
win
the prize of God’s
heavenly
calling in Christ Jesus.
Let
us therefore,
as
many
as
are perfect,
think
this way
. If in
anything
you think otherwise
, God will also
reveal that
to you.
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
.
Nevertheless, to the
extent
that
we have already attained ,
let
us
walk
by
the
same
rule
. Let
us
be
of
the
same
mind.
Nevertheless, we
must
live
up
to what
we have already attained.
Brothers
, be
imitators
together
of
me
, and note
those who walk this
way,
even
as
you
have
us
for an
example
.
Join
one
another
in
following
my
example
, brothers
, and carefully
observe
those who walk according
to
the
pattern
we
set
for you
.
For many
walk,
of
whom
I told you often
, and now tell
you
even weeping,
as the
enemies of the cross of Christ ,
For as
I have
often
told you before
, and now say
again
even with
tears:
Many
live
as enemies of the cross of Christ .
whose
end is destruction, whose
god is the
belly, and whose
glory is in their shame ,
who
think
about
earthly things.
Their
end is destruction, their
god is their
belly, and their
glory is in their shame .
Their
minds
are
set
on
earthly things.
For
our citizenship is in heaven, from
where
we also
wait
for
a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ ;
But
our citizenship is in heaven, and
we eagerly
await
a Savior from
there
, the Lord Jesus Christ ,
who will
change
the
body
of
our
humiliation
to
be
conformed
to
the
body
of
his
glory
, according
to
the
working
by which
he
is
able
even
to subject all things to himself.
who, by the
power
that
enables
Him
to subject all things to Himself ,
will
transform
our
lowly
bodies
to
be
like
His
glorious
body
.
