Philippians 3

Finally, 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. ^{2 a}Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, ^bbeware of the concision. ³ For we are ^dthe circumcision, ^cwhich worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. ⁴ Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: ⁵ Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the ^elaw, a Pharisee; ^{6 f}Concerning zeal, ^gpersecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

⁷ But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. ⁸ Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss ^hfor the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, ⁹ And be found in him, not having ^mkimine own righteousness, which is of the law, but ^ljthat which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: ¹⁰ That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and ⁿthe fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; ¹¹ If by any means I might ^oattain unto the resurrection of the dead. ¹² Not as though I had already ^pattained, either were already ^qperfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth ^runto those things which are before, ^{14 t}I press toward the mark for the prize of ^sthe high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many ^uas be ^vperfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. ¹⁶ Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

¹⁷ Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ^wye have us for an ensample. 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 their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) ²⁰ For ^xour conversation is in heaven; from whence also we ^ylook for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: ^{21 z}Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according ^ato the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
