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

The Goal of Life

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

2

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

2

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision;

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 true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God 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

although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far 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 the eighth day, of the nation 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 the righteousness which is in the Law, found 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 things were gain to me, those things I have 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

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so 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 may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of 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 the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

11

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

11

in order that I may attain to 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

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

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

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching 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 us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

16

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

16

however, let us keep living by that same standard to which 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

Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern 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 walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are 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

whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds 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

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for 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 the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
