Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
το λοιπον αδελφοι μου χαιρετε εν κυριω τα αυτα γραφειν υμιν εμοι μεν ουκ οκνηρον υμιν δε ασφαλες
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
βλεπετε τους κυνας βλεπετε τους κακους εργατας βλεπετε την κατατομην
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Messiah Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
ημεις γαρ εσμεν η περιτομη οι πνευματι θεω λατρευοντες και καυχωμενοι εν χριστω ιησου και ουκ εν σαρκι πεποιθοτες
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι ει τις δοκει αλλος πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι εγω μαλλον
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
περιτομη οκταημερος εκ γενους ισραηλ φυλης βενιαμιν εβραιος εξ εβραιων κατα νομον φαρισαιος
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
κατα ζηλον διωκων την εκκλησιαν κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενος αμεμπτος
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Messiah.
αλλ ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν
8 More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Messiah Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Messiah
αλλα μενουνγε και ηγουμαι παντα ζημιαν ειναι δια το υπερεχον της γνωσεως χριστου ιησου του κυριου μου δι ον τα παντα εζημιωθην και ηγουμαι σκυβαλα ειναι ινα χριστον κερδησω
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 Messiah, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
και ευρεθω εν αυτω μη εχων εμην δικαιοσυνην την εκ νομου αλλα την δια πιστεως χριστου την εκ θεου δικαιοσυνην επι τη πιστει
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν της αναστασεως αυτου και την κοινωνιαν των παθηματων αυτου συμμορφουμενος τω θανατω αυτου
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
ει πως καταντησω εις την εξαναστασιν των νεκρων
12 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 Messiah Jesus.
ουχ οτι ηδη ελαβον η ηδη τετελειωμαι διωκω δε ει και καταλαβω εφ ω και κατεληφθην υπο του χριστου ιησου
13 Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
αδελφοι εγω εμαυτον ου λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι εν δε τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενος τοις δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενος
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Messiah Jesus.
κατα σκοπον διωκω επι το βραβειον της ανω κλησεως του θεου εν χριστω ιησου
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.
οσοι ουν τελειοι τουτο φρονωμεν και ει τι ετερως φρονειτε και τουτο ο θεος υμιν αποκαλυψει
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
πλην εις ο εφθασαμεν τω αυτω στοιχειν κανονι το αυτο φρονειν
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε αδελφοι και σκοπειτε τους ουτως περιπατουντας καθως εχετε τυπον ημας
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Messiah,
πολλοι γαρ περιπατουσιν ους πολλακις ελεγον υμιν νυν δε και κλαιων λεγω τους εχθρους του σταυρου του χριστου
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
ων το τελος απωλεια ων ο θεος η κοιλια και η δοξα εν τη αισχυνη αυτων οι τα επιγεια φρονουντες
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah;
ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοις υπαρχει εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον
21 who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
ος μετασχηματισει το σωμα της ταπεινωσεως ημων εις το γενεσθαι αυτο συμμορφον τω σωματι της δοξης αυτου κατα την ενεργειαν του δυνασθαι αυτον και υποταξαι εαυτω τα παντα
