RKJNT - Philippians - 3

3:1  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is no trouble, and is a safeguard for you.

3:2  Beware of the dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilators of the flesh.

3:3  For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

3:4  Though I myself might have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has reason to trust in the flesh, I have more:

3:5  Circumcised the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee;

3:6  Concerning zeal, a persecutor of the church; regarding the righteousness which is of the law, blameless.

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

3:8  Furthermore, I count all things as loss compared to the excellency of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may win Christ,

3:9  And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, based on the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

3:10  That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death;

3:11  If only I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.

3:12  Not that I have already attained it, or have already become perfect: but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me.

3:13  Brethren, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it yet: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are ahead,

3:14  I press on toward the goal for the prize, to which God has called me upward in Christ Jesus.

3:15  Therefore, let us, as many as are mature, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, God shall also reveal this to you.

3:16  Only let us hold true to that which we have already attained.

3:17  Brethren, join together in following me, and note those who walk according to our example.

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

3:19  Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

3:20  But our citizenship is in heaven; from whence we eagerly look for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

3:21  Who shall change our lowly body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself.
