Philippians 3

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.NHEB — Philippians 3:1

2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.NHEB — Philippians 3:2

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;NHEB — Philippians 3:3

4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:NHEB — Philippians 3:4

5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;NHEB — Philippians 3:5

6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.NHEB — Philippians 3:6

7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.NHEB — Philippians 3:7

8 More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain ChristNHEB — Philippians 3:8

9 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;NHEB — Philippians 3:9

10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;NHEB — Philippians 3:10

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

12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.NHEB — Philippians 3:12

13 Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,NHEB — Philippians 3:13

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.NHEB — Philippians 3:14

15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.NHEB — Philippians 3:15

16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.NHEB — Philippians 3:16

17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.NHEB — Philippians 3:17

18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,NHEB — Philippians 3:18

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.NHEB — Philippians 3:19

20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;NHEB — Philippians 3:20

21 who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.NHEB — Philippians 3:21
