Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do , forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
(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:
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
