Philippians 3

1 For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.

Hennus forward, my britheren, haue ye ioye in the Lord. To write to you the same thingis, to me it is not slow, and to you it is necessarie.

2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.

Se ye houndis, se ye yuele werk men, se ye dyuysioun.

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.

For we ben circumcisioun, which bi spirit seruen to God, and glorien in Crist Jhesu, and han not trist in the fleisch,

4 Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:

thouy Y haue trust, yhe, in the fleisch. If ony othere man is seyn to triste in the fleisch,

5 as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;

Y more, that was circumcidid in the eiytthe dai, of the kyn of Israel, of the lynage of Beniamyn, an Ebrew of Ebrewis, bi the lawe a Farisee,

6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;

bi loue pursuynge the chirche of God, bi riytwisnesse that is in the lawe lyuynge with out playnt.

7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

But whiche thingis weren to me wynnyngis, Y haue demed these apeyryngis for Crist.

8 But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

Netheles Y gesse alle thingis to be peirement for the cleer science of Jhesu Crist my Lord. For whom Y made alle thingis peyrement, and Y deme as drit,

9 and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,

that Y wynne Crist, and that Y be foundun in hym, not hauynge my riytwisnesse that is of the lawe, but that that is of the feith of Crist Jhesu, that is of God the riytwisnesse in feith,

10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

to knowe hym, and the vertu of his risyng ayen, and the felouschipe of his passioun, and be maad lijk to his deeth,

11 if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.

if on ony maner Y come to the resurreccioun that is fro deth.

12 Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].

Not that now Y haue takun, or now am parfit; but Y sue, if in ony maner Y comprehende, in which thing also Y am comprehendid of Crist Jhesu.

13 Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

Bretheren, Y deme me not that Y haue comprehendid; but o thing, Y foryete tho thingis that ben bihyndis, and stretche forth my silf to tho thingis that ben bifore,

14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

and pursue to the ordeyned mede of the hiy clepyng of God in Crist Jhesu.

15 As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

Therfor who euere we ben perfit, feele we this thing. And if ye vndurstonden in othere manere ony thing, this thing God schal schewe to you.

16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.

Netheles to what thing we han comun, that we vndurstonden the same thing, and that we perfitli dwelle in the same reule.

17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

Britheren, be ye my foleweris, and weyte ye hem that walken so, as ye han oure fourme.

18 (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:

For many walken, whiche Y haue seid ofte to you, but now Y wepinge seie, the enemyes of Cristis cros,

19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )

who ende is deth, whos god is the wombe, and the glorie in confusioun of hem, that saueren ertheli thingis.

20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,

But oure lyuyng is in heuenes; fro whennus also we abiden the sauyour oure Lord Jhesu Crist,

21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.

which schal reforme the bodi of oure mekenesse, that is maad lijk to the bodi of his clerenesse, bi the worching bi which he mai `also make alle thingis suget to hym.
