Philippenses 3
1 De cetero fratres mei gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.
2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:
3 Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Iesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:
4 quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israel, de tribu Beniamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem Pharisæus,
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum iustitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela:
as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.
Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
8 Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Iesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,
Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,
9 et inveniar in illo non habens meam iustitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Iesu: quæ ex Deo est iustitia in fide
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
10 ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis eius, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti eius:
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;
11 si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:
if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.
12 non quod iam acceperim, aut iam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Iesu.
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.
13 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem: quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero, quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,
Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu.
I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:
16 Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
only, whereunto we have attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.
17 Imitatores mei estote fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.
Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.
18 Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:
For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
20 Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem expectamus Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum,
For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subiicere sibi omnia.
who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.
