Philippians - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you `is' sure;
- look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
- for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
- though I also have `cause of' trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;
- circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
- according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
- But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
- yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
- not having my righteousness, which `is' of law, but that which `is' through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith,
- to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
- if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
- Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
- brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --
- to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
- As many, therefore, as `are' perfect -- let us think this, and if `in' anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
- but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
- become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us -- a pattern;
- for many walk of whom many times I told you -- and now also weeping tell -- the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
- whose end `is' destruction, whose god `is' the belly, and whose glory `is' in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
- For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await -- the Lord Jesus Christ --
