Philippians 3 — TOJB

3Verse 1As to the rest, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, have simcha in Adoneinu.⁺To keep writing the zelba thing⁺to you is not an irksome bother to me, but for you it is a te'udat bitachon (safeguard).^{Verse 2}Be shomer and on your guard and watch out for those⁺kelevim (dogs),⁺watch out for the evil po'alim (workers), watch out for the “circummutilators”.^{+Verse 3}For we are the Bnei HaMilah,⁺the ones whose avodas kodesh is by the Ruach Hakodesh⁺and whose kavod is in Moshiach Yehoshua and who take no bitachon in the basar,^{Verse 4}Even though I could be having bitachon also in the basar. If any other person thinks he has grounds to have bitachon in the basar, I have more:^{+Verse 5}Bris milah on the eighth day;⁺from Bnei Yisroel by birth; of the tribe of Binyamin; a speaker of Lashon HaKodesh, Ivrit of Ivrit-speaking horim, a Hebrew of Hebrews;⁺with regard to the Torah, from the kat haPerushim;^{+Verse 6}With regard to kin'a (zealousness), persecuting the Adat HaMoshiach;⁺with regard to tzidkat HaTorah,⁺I was medakdekim bmitzvot unreproachable.^{+Verse 7}But what things were revach (gain, profit) to me, these things I considered loss, on account of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.^{+Verse 8}But even more so, I consider all to be loss on account of the excellency of the da'as of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,⁺on account of whom I suffered the loss of all things and I consider them as nothing, in comparison, that I may gain Moshiach,^{+Verse 9}And be found in him, not having my own Tzidkot (self-achieved righteousness, by definition a self-righteousness based on chumra stringency)⁺from gezetz, but the Tzedek⁺through emunah⁺in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the Tzidkat Hashem based upon emunah.^{+Verse 10}I want to have da'as of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and of the gevurah (power) of the Techiyas HaMoshiach and the deveykus (attachment to G-d) of Moshiachʼs yissurim (sufferings),⁺being formed into the mode of being of Moshiachʼs death,^{+Verse 11}If somehow I may attain to the Techiyas HaMesim.^{Verse 12}Not that already I obtained or already have been made shleimut, but I pursue this tachlis (final end, aim) that I may lay hold of⁺that for which I was laid hold of by Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.^{+Verse 13}Achim b'Moshiach, I do not consider myself to have laid hold;⁺but one zach (thing) I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to the things ahead,^{Verse 14}According to the tachlis I pursue the prize of the Shomayim Aliyah ascent of Hashem, the upward k'riah (call) of HaShem b'Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.^{+Verse 15}Therefore, as many as would be shleimut, let us think like this:⁺and if in anything your machshavot (thoughts) are different,⁺even this Hashem will reveal to you.^{Verse 16}Fort (nevertheless), let us march in line with what we have attained, let us hold to the same.^{+Verse 17}Achim b'Moshiach, together be imitators of me.⁺Take note of the ones walking as you have a mofet in us.^{+Verse 18}For many, of whom I was often telling you, and now also I say with weeping, walk as oyvim (enemies) of Moshiachʼs Etz.^{+Verse 19}Their destined end⁺is churban (destruction, Gehinnom). Their g-d is their appetite,⁺and their kavod, what they glory in, is their bushah (shame). Their machshavot are set on the Olam Hazeh.^{+Verse 20}But the torat haEzrakhut⁺(citizenship) we conduct exists in Shomayim,⁺from where also we eagerly await a Moshi'a (Savior), a Go'el, Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,^{Verse 21}Who will transfigure the basar of our humiliation into the demut of the mode of being of the guf kavod of Moshiach, according to the pe'ulah⁺(action, work) of his ko'ach (power),⁺even to the subjecting of all things to himself.⁺
