Philippians 3 — NWB
3Verse 1Finally, 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.Verse 2Beware of dogs, beware of evil-workers, beware of the concision.Verse 3For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.Verse 4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:Verse 5Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;Verse 6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.Verse 7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.Verse 8Yes doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,Verse 9And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:Verse 10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;Verse 11If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.Verse 12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I pursue, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.Verse 13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do , forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,Verse 14I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.Verse 15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to you.Verse 16Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.Verse 17Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example.Verse 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:Verse 19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)Verse 20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:Verse 21Who will change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
