Philippians, Chapter 3

¹ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.	1 Php 2:18 Php 4:4
² Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the^a Lit mutilation; Gr katatomefalse circumcision; ³ for we are the true^b Gr peritomecircumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, ⁴ although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: ⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; ⁶ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.	2 Psa 22:16 Psa 22:20 Gal 5:15 Rev 22:15 Co2 11:13 3 Rom 2:29 Rom 9:6 Gal 6:15 Gal 5:25 Rom 15:17 Gal 6:14 Rom 8:39 Php 1:1 Php 3:12 4 Co2 5:16 Co2 11:18 5 Luk 1:59 Rom 11:1 Co2 11:22 Rom 11:1 Rom 11:1 Co2 11:22 Act 22:3 Act 23:6 Act 26:5 6 Act 8:3 Act 22:4 Act 22:5 Act 26:9-11 Php 3:9 Php 2:15
⁷ But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ More than that, I count all things to be loss^c Lit because ofin view of the surpassing value of^d Lit the knowledge ofknowing Christ Jesus my Lord,^e Lit because offor whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, ⁹ and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, ¹⁰ that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and^f Or participation inthe fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; ¹¹ ^g Lit if somehowin order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.	7 Luk 14:33 8 Jer 9:23 Joh 17:3 Eph 4:13 Php 3:10 Pe2 1:3 Rom 8:39 Php 1:1 Php 3:12 9 Rom 10:5 Php 3:6 Rom 9:30 Co1 1:30 10 Jer 9:23 Joh 17:3 Eph 4:13 Php 3:8 Pe2 1:3 Rom 6:5 Rom 8:17 Rom 6:5 Rom 8:36 Gal 6:17 11 Act 26:7 Co1 15:23 Rev 20:5
¹² Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on^h Lit if I may evenso that I may lay hold of thatⁱ Or because alsofor which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. ¹³ Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as are^j Or matureperfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; ¹⁶ however, let us keep^k Lit following in lineliving by that same standard to which we have attained.	12 Co1 9:24 Ti1 6:12 Ti1 6:19 Co1 13:10 Ti1 6:12 Ti1 6:19 Act 9:5 Rom 8:39 Php 1:1 Php 3:3 Php 3:8 13 Luk 9:62 14 Co1 9:24 Heb 6:1 Rom 8:28 Rom 11:29 Ti2 1:9 Php 3:3 15 Mat 5:48 Co1 2:6 Gal 5:10 Joh 6:45 Eph 1:17 Th1 4:9 16 Gal 6:16
¹⁷ Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. ¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, ¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is their^l Lit bellyappetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. ²⁰ For our^m Lit commonwealthcitizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; ²¹ who will transformⁿ Or our lowly bodythe body of our humble state into conformity with^o Or His glorious bodythe body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.	17 Co1 4:16 Co1 11:1 Php 4:9 Pe1 5:3 18 Co2 11:13 Act 20:31 Gal 6:14 19 Rom 16:18 Tit 1:12 Rom 6:21 Jud 1:13 Rom 8:5 Col 3:2 20 Eph 2:19 Php 1:27 Col 3:1 Heb 12:22 Co1 1:7 21 Co1 15:43-53 Rom 8:29 Col 3:4 Co1 15:43 Co1 15:49 Eph 1:19 Co1 15:28
