Paul's Letter to the Philippians 3, World English Bible |
Paul's Letter to the Philippians, Chapter 3
{3:1} Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same
things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
{3:2} Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the
false circumcision. {3:3} For we are the circumcision, who worship God
in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the flesh; {3:4} though I myself might have confidence even in the
flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I
yet more: {3:5} circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of
the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a
Pharisee; {3:6} concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning
the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
{3:7} However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted
loss for Christ. {3:8} Yes most certainly, 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 count them nothing but
refuse, that I may gain Christ {3:9} and be found in him, not having a
righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is
through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
{3:10} that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death; {3:11}
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. {3:12}
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I
press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I
was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
{3:13} Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but
one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching
forward to the things which are before, {3:14} I press on toward the
goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. {3:15}
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in
anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you. {3:16}
Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk
by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind. {3:17} Brothers, be
imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as
you have us for an example. {3:18} For many walk, of whom I told you
often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of
Christ, {3:19} whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and
whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things. {3:20}
For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; {3:21} who will change the body of our
humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the
working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
