Philippians 3
1 In conclusion, my friends, may all joy be yours in your union with the Lord. To repeat what I have already written does not weary me, and is the safe course for you.
το λοιπον αδελφοι μου χαιρετε εν κυριω τα αυτα γραφειν υμιν εμοι μεν ουκ οκνηρον υμιν δε ασφαλες
2 Beware of those dogs! Beware of those mischievous workers! Beware of the men who mutilate themselves!
βλεπετε τους κυνας βλεπετε τους κακους εργατας βλεπετε την κατατομην
3 For it is we who are the circumcised – we whose worship is prompted by the Spirit of God, who exult in Christ Jesus, and who do not rely on external privileges;
ημεις γαρ εσμεν η περιτομη οι πνευματι θεου λατρευοντες και καυχωμενοι εν χριστω ιησου και ουκ εν σαρκι πεποιθοτες
4 though I, if anyone, have cause to rely even on them. If anyone thinks he can rely on external privileges, far more can I!
καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι ει τις δοκει αλλος πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι εγω μαλλον
5 I was circumcised when eight days old; I am an Israelite by birth, and of the tribe of Benjamin; I am a Hebrew, and the child of Hebrews. As to the Law, I was a Pharisee;
περιτομη οκταημερος εκ γενους ισραηλ φυλης βενιαμιν εβραιος εξ εβραιων κατα νομον φαρισαιος
6 as to zeal, I was a persecutor of the church; as to such righteousness as is due to Law, I proved myself blameless.
κατα ζηλος διωκων την εκκλησιαν κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενος αμεμπτος
7 But all the things which I once held to be gains I have now, for the Christ’s sake, come to count as loss.
{VAR1: αλλα } {VAR2: [αλλα] } ατινα ην μοι κερδη ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν
8 More than that, I count everything as loss, for the sake of the exceeding value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. And for his sake I have lost everything, and count it as rubbish, if I may but gain Christ and be found in union with him;
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 ινα χριστον κερδησω
9 any righteousness that I have being, not the righteousness that results from Law, but the righteousness which comes through faith in Christ – the righteousness which is derived from God and is founded on 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 Then indeed I will know Christ, and the power of his resurrection, and all that it means to share his sufferings,
του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν της αναστασεως αυτου και {VAR1: κοινωνιαν } {VAR2: [την] κοινωνιαν [των] } παθηματων αυτου συμμορφιζομενος τω θανατω αυτου
11 in the hope that, if I become like him in death, I may possibly attain to the resurrection from the dead.
ει πως καταντησω εις την εξαναστασιν την εκ νεκρων
12 Not that I have already laid hold of it, or that I am already made perfect. But I press on, in the hope of actually laying hold of that for which indeed I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
ουχ οτι ηδη ελαβον η ηδη τετελειωμαι διωκω δε ει και καταλαβω εφ ω και κατελημφθην υπο χριστου [ιησου]
13 For I, friends, do not regard myself as having yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do – forgetting what lies behind, and straining every nerve for that which lies in front,
αδελφοι εγω εμαυτον {VAR1: ουπω } {VAR2: ου } λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι εν δε τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενος τοις δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενος
14 I press on to the goal, to gain the prize of that heavenward call which God gave me through Christ Jesus.
κατα σκοπον διωκω εις το βραβειον της ανω κλησεως του θεου εν χριστω ιησου
15 Let all of us, then, whose faith is mature, think this way. Then, if on any matter you think otherwise, God will make that also plain to you.
οσοι ουν τελειοι τουτο φρονωμεν και ει τι ετερως φρονειτε και τουτο ο θεος υμιν αποκαλυψει
16 Only we are bound to order our lives by what we have already attained.
πλην εις ο εφθασαμεν τω αυτω στοιχειν
17 My friends, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.
συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε αδελφοι και σκοπειτε τους ουτως περιπατουντας καθως εχετε τυπον ημας
18 For there are many – of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears – who are living in enmity to the cross of the Christ.
πολλοι γαρ περιπατουσιν ους πολλακις ελεγον υμιν νυν δε και κλαιων λεγω τους εχθρους του σταυρου του χριστου
19 The end of such people is ruin; for their appetites are their God, and they glory in their shame; their minds are given up to earthly things.
ων το τελος απωλεια ων ο θεος η κοιλια και η δοξα εν τη αισχυνη αυτων οι τα επιγεια φρονουντες
20 But we are citizens of heaven, and from heaven we expect a saviour to come, the Lord Jesus Christ.
ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοις υπαρχει εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον
21 By the exercise of his power to bring everything into subjection to himself, he will make our humble bodies like his glorious body.
ος μετασχηματισει το σωμα της ταπεινωσεως ημων συμμορφον τω σωματι της δοξης αυτου κατα την ενεργειαν του δυνασθαι αυτον και υποταξαι αυτω τα παντα
