< Philippians 3 >
1 Finally, brothers of mine, do rejoice in [the] Lord. The same things to write to you to me myself indeed [is] not troublesome, for you however [is] safe.
2 do beware of the dogs, do beware of the evil workers, do beware of the false circumcision;
3 We ourselves for are the circumcision, those in [the] Spirit (of God *N+kO) worshiping and glorying in Christ Jesus and not in [the] flesh having put confidence,
4 though I myself have confidence even in [the] flesh. If any thinks other to have confidence in [the] flesh, I myself more:
5 circumcision on [the] eighth day, of [the] nation of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, according to [the] Law a Pharisee,
6 according to (zeal *N+kO) persecuting the church, according to righteousness which [is] in [the] Law having become faultless.
7 But whatever things were to me gain, these I have esteemed because of Christ loss;
8 But (rather *NK+o) also I count all things loss to be because of which is excelling the knowledge of Christ Jesus the Lord of mine because of whom all things I have lost and esteem [them] rubbish (to be *k) that Christ I may gain
9 and may be found in Him not having my own righteousness which [is] of [the] Law but that through faith from Christ, the of God righteousness on the basis of faith,
10 to know Him and the power of the resurrection of Him and the fellowship of the sufferings of Him being conformed to the death of Him,
11 if somehow I shall attain to the resurrection (that *N+kO) (out from *no) [the] dead.
12 Not for already I have obtained [it] or already (have been perfected, *NK+O) I am pursuing however if even I shall grasp of that for which also I was grasped by Christ Jesus.
13 Brothers, I myself myself (not *NK+o) do consider to have grasped [it]; One thing however: The [things] indeed behind forgetting, to the [things] however ahead reaching forward,
14 toward [the] goal I press on (for *N+kO) the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 As many as therefore [are] mature, this [way] we may reason; and if anything differently you reason, even this God to you will reveal;
16 Nevertheless to that which we have attained, by the same [we are] to walk (rule [and] by the same reasoning. *K)
17 Imitators together of me do be, brothers, and do observe those thus walking even as you have [for] a pattern us.
18 Many for are walking — [of] whom often I was telling you, now indeed even weeping I say — [as] the enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is] the belly and glory [is] in the shame of them, those [things] earthly minding.
20 Of us for the citizenship in [the] heavens exists from whence also a Savior we are awaiting [the] Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform the body of the humiliation of us (toward to become it *K) conformed to the body of the glory of Himself according to the working enabling Him even to subdue (to Him *N+kO) all things.
