LO - Philippians - 3

3:1  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me, indeed, is not irksome, and for you it is safe.

3:2  Beware of the snarlers, beware of evil workers, beware of the excision;

3:3  for we are the circumcision, who worship God in spirit, who glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

3:4  Though indeed, I have a ground of confidence in the flesh, if any other thinks he has a ground of confidence--I have more.

3:5  Circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;

3:6  with respect to zeal, persecuting the congregation; with respect to righteousness by law, I was blameless.

3:7  But the things which were gain to me, those I have counted loss for Christ.

3:8  Yes, indeed, on this account, also, I count all things loss, for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord; (for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do account them mere refuse, that I may gain Christ,

3:9  and be found in him, not having my righteousness by law, but that which is through the faith of Christ--the righteousness which is from God on account of this faith)--

3:10  that I might know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death;

3:11  if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

3:12  Not that I have already laid hold, or have already become perfect; but I press on, that, indeed, I may lay hold on that, for which, also, I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

3:13  Brethren, I count not myself to have laid hold of the prize ; but one thing I do , forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth toward the things before,

3:14  I press on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God, by Christ Jesus.

3:15  Let us, then, as many as would be perfect, be thus minded; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal even this to you.

3:16  Moreover, let us walk in conformity to what we have attained.

3:17  Brethren, be imitators of men, and consider attentively those who walk so, as you have us for an example.

3:18  (For I have often told you, and now tell you, even weeping, that many walk as the enemies of the cross of Christ;

3:19  whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetites, whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

3:20  But we are citizens of heaven, whence, also, we earnestly expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ;

3:21  who will transform our humbled body into a like form with his glorious body, according to the energy of his power, even to subject all things to himself.
