1Finally[G3063], my[G3450]brethren[G80], rejoice[G5463]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962]. To write[G1125] the same things[G846] to you[G5213], to me[G1698]indeed[G3303] is not[G3756]grievous[G3636], but[G1161] for you[G5213] it is safe[G804].
2Beware[G991] of dogs[G2965], beware[G991] of evil[G2556]workers[G2040], beware[G991] of the concision[G2699].
3For[G1063]we[G2249]are[G2070] the circumcision[G4061], which[G3588]worship[G3000]God[G2316]in[G1722] the spirit[G4151], and[G2532]rejoice[G2744]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424], and[G2532]have[G3982]no[G3756]confidence[G3982]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561].
4Though[G2539]I[G1473]might[G2192]also[G2532]have[G2192]confidence[G4006]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561]. If any[G1536] other man[G243]thinketh[G1380] that he hath whereof he might[G2192]trust[G3982]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561], I[G1473]more[G3123]:
5Circumcised[G4061] the eighth[G3637] day, of[G1537] the stock[G1085]of[G1537]Israel[G2474], of[G1537] the tribe[G5443]of[G1537]Benjamin[G958], an Hebrew[G1445]of[G1537] the Hebrews[G1445]; as touching[G2596] the law[G3551], a Pharisee[G5330];
6Concerning[G2596]zeal[G2205], persecuting[G1377] the church[G1577]; touching[G2596] the righteousness[G1343]which[G3588] is in[G1722] the law[G3551], blameless[G273].
7But[G235] what things[G3748]were[G2258]gain[G2771] to me[G3427], those[G5023] I counted[G2233]loss[G2209]for[G1223]Christ[G5547].
8Yea[G235]doubtless[G3304], and[G2532] I count[G2233] all things[G3956] but loss[G2209]for[G1511] the excellency[G5242] of the knowledge[G1108] of Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424]my[G3450]Lord[G2962]: for[G1223]whom[G3739] I have suffered the loss[G2210] of all things[G3956], and[G2532] do count[G2233]them[G1511] but dung[G4657], that[G2443] I may win[G2770]Christ[G5547],
9And[G2532] be found[G2147]in[G1722]him[G846], not[G3361]having[G2192] mine own[G1699]righteousness[G1343], which[G3588] is of[G1537] the law[G3551], but[G235] that which[G3588] is through[G1223] the faith[G4102]of[G1537]Christ[G5547], the righteousness[G1343]which[G3588] is of[G1537]God[G2316]by[G1909]faith[G4102]:
10
That I may know[G1097]him[G846], and[G2532] the power[G1411] of his[G846]resurrection[G386], and[G2532] the fellowship[G2842] of his[G846]sufferings[G3804], being made conformable[G4833] unto his[G846]death[G2288];
11
If by any means[G1513] I might attain[G2658]unto[G1519] the resurrection[G1815] of the dead[G3498].
12Not[G3756] as though[G3754] I had already[G2235]attained[G2983], either[G2228] were already[G2235]perfect[G5048]: but[G1161] I follow after[G1377], if[G1499] that I may apprehend[G2638] that for[G1909]which[G3739]also[G2532] I am apprehended[G2638]of[G5259]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424].
13Brethren[G80], I[G1473]count[G3049]not[G3756]myself[G1683] to have apprehended[G2638]: but[G1161] this one thing[G1520]I[G1473] do, forgetting[G1950] those things[G3303] which are behind[G3694], and[G1161] reaching forth unto[G1901] those things[G3303] which are before[G1715],
14
I press[G1377]toward[G2596] the mark[G4649]for[G1909] the prize[G1017] of the high[G507]calling[G2821] of God[G2316]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424].
15Let[G5426] us therefore[G3767], as[G3745] many as[G3745]be[G5426]perfect[G5046], be[G5426]thus[G5124]minded[G5426]: and[G2532] if in any thing[G1536] ye be[G5426]otherwise[G2088]minded[G5426], God[G2316] shall reveal[G601]even[G2532]this[G5124] unto you[G5213].
16Nevertheless[G4133], whereto[G1519] we have already attained[G5348], let us walk[G4748] by the same[G846]rule[G2583], let us mind[G5426] the same[G846]thing[G846].
17Brethren[G80], be[G1096] followers together[G4831] of me[G3450], and[G2532]mark[G4648] them which walk[G4043]so[G3779]as[G2531] ye have[G2192]us[G2248] for an ensample[G5179].
18
(For[G1063]many[G4183]walk[G4043], of whom[G3739] I have told[G3004]you[G5213]often[G4178], and[G1161]now[G3568]tell[G3004]you[G5213]even[G2532]weeping[G2799], that they are the enemies[G2190] of the cross[G4716] of Christ[G5547]:
19Whose[G3739]end[G5056] is destruction[G684], whose[G3739]God[G2316] is their[G846]belly[G2836], and[G2532]whose[G3739]glory[G1391] is in[G1722]their[G846]shame[G152], who[G3588]mind[G5426] earthly things[G1919].)
20For[G1063]our[G2257]conversation[G4175]is[G5225]in[G1722]heaven[G3772]; from[G1537]whence[G3739]also[G2532] we look for[G553] the Saviour[G4990], the Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]:
21Who[G3739] shall change[G3345]our[G2257]vile[G5014]body[G4983], that[G1519]it[G846] may be[G1096] fashioned like unto[G4832]his[G846]glorious[G1391]body[G4983], according to[G2596] the working[G1753] whereby he[G846] is able[G1410]even[G2532]to[G2596]subdue[G5293] all things[G3956]unto[G4832]himself[G1438].
