Philippians (The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the )

For the rest my brothers, rejoice in [the] Lord. To write the same things to you truly [is] not tiresome to me, but safe for you.

Look out [for] the dogs, look out [for] the evil workers, look out [for] the concision [party].

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, and who glory in Christ Jesus, and who do not trust in flesh.

Though I also might have trust in flesh; if any other thinks to trust in flesh, I more;

in circumcision, [the] eighth day, of [the] race of Israel, [the] tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to Law, a Pharisee;

according to zeal, persecuting the church; according to righteousness in Law, being blameless.

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss because of Christ.

But, nay, rather I also count all things to be loss because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count [them to be] trash, that I might gain Christ

and be found in Him; not having my own righteousness of Law, but through [the] faith of Christ, [having] the righteousness of God on faith,

to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, having been conformed to His death,

if somehow I may attain to a resurrection out of the dead.

Not that I already received or already have been perfected, but I press on, if I also may lay hold, inasmuch as I also was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

Brothers, I do not count myself to have laid hold, but one [thing I do], forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to those things before,

I press on after the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Then as many as [are] perfect, let us be of this mind; and if you think anything differently, God will also reveal this to you.

Yet [as] to where we have arrived, walk by the same rule, [being] of the same mind.

Be fellow-imitators of me, brothers, and consider those walking this way, even as you have us [for] a pattern.

For many walk [as] the enemies of the cross of Christ, of whom I often told you, and now even weeping I say it,

For our citizenship is in Heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, [the] Lord Jesus Christ,

who will transform our body of humiliation, for it to be conformed to His body of glory, according to the working of His power, even to put all things under Himself.
