Philippians 3

1 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.

HENCEFORTH, my brethren, rejoice in our Lord. To write the very same (things) to you, to me is not weariness, because they make you cautious.

2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the cutting of the flesh.

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

For the circumcision are we, who serve Aloha in the spirit, and glory in Jeshu the Meshiha, and confide not on the flesh.

4 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:

Yet I may have confidence on the flesh. For if any one consider that his confidence is in the flesh, I more than he.

5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

Circumcised the son of eight days, of the family of Israel, of the tribe of Benyomin, Ebroia of Ebroyee; in the law, Pharisha;

6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

in zeal, a persecutor of the church; and in the righteousness of the law, without fault have I been.

7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

But these things which were my gain, I have reckoned loss for the Meshiha;

8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a 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

and I also (still) reckon them all loss, for the grandeur of the knowledge of Jeshu Meshiha my Lord; for whose sake I have lost all things, and have reckoned as dung, that the Meshiha I may gain,

9 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, which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of the Meshiha, which is righteousness that is from Aloha:

10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

that in it I may know Jeshu, and the power of his resurrection, and have fellowship in his sufferings, and be conformed into his death,

11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

that any how I may be able to come to the resurrection which is from among the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

I have not yet received, nor (am I) yet perfected; but I run, that so I may lay hold on that for the sake of which Jeshu the Meshiha hath laid hold on me.

13 Brothers, I do not 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,

MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

I stretch, and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.

15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

Let those, then, who are mature consider these things; and if otherwise you consider, this also will Aloha reveal to you.

16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.

Nevertheless, that to this we may attain, in one way let us proceed, and with one consent.

17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

Be like me, my brethren, and consider them who so walk according to the pattern you have seen in us.

18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

For there are many who walk otherwise, of whom many times I have told you, but now weeping I tell you, they are adversaries of the cross of the Meshiha;

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

they, whose end is perdition, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame; they, whose mind is in the earth.

20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

But our employment is in heaven, and from thence we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

21 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 will change the body of our abasement to make (it) in the fashion of his glorious body, according to his great power, by which all is subjected unto him.
