1. For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.
2. See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
3. For *we* are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
4. Though *I* have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, *I* rather
5. as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;
6. as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
7. but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
8. But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;
9. and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,
10. to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11. if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
12. Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].
13. Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing -- forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
14. I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
15. As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.
16. But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
17. Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
18. (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
19. whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things)
20. for *our* commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
21. who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
