Righteousness through Faith

For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.

1

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

Finally, my brothers,a rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

2

See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.

2

Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.

3

For *we* are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.

3

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of Godb and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh —

4

Though *I* have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, *I* rather:

4

though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

5

as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;

5

circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

6

as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;

6

as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,c blameless.

7

Knowing Christ is Above All

but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

7

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

8

But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

8

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

9

and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,

9

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith —

10

to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

10

that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

11

if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.

11

that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

12

Press on Toward the Goal

Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].

12

Straining Toward the Goal

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

13

Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing -- forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

13

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

14

I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

14

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15

As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

15

Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.

16

But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.

16

Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

17

Citizenship in Heaven

Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

17

Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

18

(for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

18

For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.

19

whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)

19

Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

20

for *our* commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,

20

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21

who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.

21

who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
