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.
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.
See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved.
For *we* are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
Though *I* have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, *I* rather:
though I could have confidence in my own effort if anyone could. Indeed, if others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more!
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;
I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin — a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.
as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.
Knowing Christ is Above All
but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.
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;
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ
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,
to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,
if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
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].
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].
Pressing toward the Goal
I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.
Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing -- forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
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.
Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you.
But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.
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;
Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example.
(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:
For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ.
whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)
They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth.
for *our* commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.
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.
He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.
