फ़िलिप्पियों 3

1As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary.

2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.

4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,

5Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee:

6According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.

7But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.

8Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ:

9And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:

10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,

11If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.

12Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.

13Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,

14I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.

15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.

16Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.

17Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.

18For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;

19Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.

20But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,

21Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

1De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.

2Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.

3Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Jesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,

4quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,

5circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israël, de tribu Benjamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem pharisæus,

6secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum justitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela.

7Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.

8Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Jesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,

9et inveniar in illo non habens meam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Jesu: quæ ex Deo est justitia in fide,

10ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis ejus, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti ejus:

11si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:

12non quod jam acceperim, aut jam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Jesu.

13Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem, quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,

14ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Jesu.

15Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.

16Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.

17Imitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.

18Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:

19quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.

20Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem exspectamus Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,

21qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subjicere sibi omnia.

1Concerning other things, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is certainly not tiresome for me to write the same things to you, but for you, it is not necessary.

2Beware of dogs; beware of those who work evil; beware of those who are divisive.

3For we are the circumcised, we who serve God in the Spirit and who glory in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh.

4Nevertheless, I might have confidence also in the flesh, for if anyone else seems to have confidence in the flesh, more so do I.

5For I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew among Hebrews. According to the law, I was a Pharisee;

6according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame.

7But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, for the sake of Christ.

8Yet truly, I consider everything to be a loss, because of the preeminent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of everything, considering it all to be like dung, so that I may gain Christ,

9and so that you may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, the justice within faith, which is of God.

10So shall I know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his Passion, having been fashioned according to his death,

11if, by some means, I might attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.

12It is not as though I have already received this, or were already perfect. But rather I pursue, so that by some means I might attain, that in which I have already been attained by Christ Jesus.

13Brothers, I do not consider that I have already attained this. Instead, I do one thing: forgetting those things that are behind, and extending myself toward those things that are ahead,

14I pursue the destination, the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15Therefore, as many of us as are being perfected, let us agree about this. And if in anything you disagree, God will reveal this to you also.

16Yet truly, whatever point we reach, let us be of the same mind, and let us remain in the same rule.

17Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.

18For many persons, about whom I have often told you (and now tell you, weeping,) are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ.

19Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.

20But our way of life is in heaven. And from heaven, too, we await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ,

21who will transform the body of our lowliness, according to the form of the body of his glory, by means of that power by which he is even able to subject all things to himself.
