Philippians 3

1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

το λοιπον, αδελφοι μου, χαιρετε εν κυριω. τα αυτα γραφειν υμιν εμοι μεν ουκ οκνηρον, υμιν δε ασφαλες.

2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!

βλεπετε τους κυνας, βλεπετε τους κακους εργατας, βλεπετε την κατατομην·

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

ημεις γαρ εσμεν η περιτομη, οι πνευματι θεου λατρευοντες και καυχωμενοι εν χριστω ιησου και ουκ εν σαρκι πεποιθοτες,

4though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:

καιπερ εγω εχων πεποιθησιν και εν σαρκι. ει τις δοκει αλλος πεποιθεναι εν σαρκι, εγω μαλλον·

5circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

περιτομη οκταημερος, εκ γενους ισραηλ, φυλης βενιαμιν, εβραιος εξ εβραιων, κατα νομον φαρισαιος,

6concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

κατα ζηλον διωκων την εκκλησιαν, κατα δικαιοσυνην την εν νομω γενομενος αμεμπτος.

7But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

αλλ ατινα ην μοι κερδη, ταυτα ηγημαι δια τον χριστον ζημιαν.

8Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

αλλα μενουνγε και ηγουμαι παντα ζημιαν ειναι δια το υπερεχον της γνωσεως χριστου ιησου του κυριου μου, δι ον τα παντα εζημιωθην, και ηγουμαι σκυβαλα ειναι ινα χριστον κερδησω

9and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

και ευρεθω εν αυτω μη εχων εμην δικαιοσυνην την εκ νομου, αλλα την δια πιστεως χριστου, την εκ θεου δικαιοσυνην επι τη πιστει,

10that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

του γνωναι αυτον και την δυναμιν της αναστασεως αυτου και την κοινωνιαν των παθηματων αυτου, συμμορφουμενος τω θανατω αυτου,

11if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

ει πως καταντησω εις την εξαναστασιν των νεκρων.

12Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

ουχ οτι ηδη ελαβον η ηδη τετελειωμαι, διωκω δε ει και καταλαβω, εφ ω και κατεληφθην υπο του χριστου ιησου.

13Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

αδελφοι, εγω εμαυτον ουπω λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι· εν δε, τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενος τοις δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενος

14I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

κατα σκοπον διωκω επι το βραβειον της ανω κλησεως του θεου εν χριστω ιησου.

15Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

οσοι ουν τελειοι, τουτο φρονωμεν· και ει τι ετερως φρονειτε, και τουτο ο θεος υμιν αποκαλυψει.

16Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

πλην εις ο εφθασαμεν, τω αυτω στοιχειν κανονι, το αυτο φρονειν.

17Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε, αδελφοι, και σκοπειτε τους ουτως περιπατουντας, καθως εχετε τυπον ημας.

18For 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:

πολλοι γαρ περιπατουσιν, — ους πολλακις ελεγον υμιν, νυν δε και κλαιων λεγω, τους εχθρους του σταυρου του χριστου,

19whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.

ων το τελος απωλεια, ων ο θεος η κοιλια και η δοξα εν τη αισχυνη αυτων, οι τα επιγεια φρονουντες!

20For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

ημων γαρ το πολιτευμα εν ουρανοις υπαρχει, εξ ου και σωτηρα απεκδεχομεθα κυριον ιησουν χριστον,

21who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

ος μετασχηματισει το σωμα της ταπεινωσεως ημων εις το γενεσθαι αυτο συμμορφον τω σωματι της δοξης αυτου κατα την ενεργειαν του δυνασθαι αυτον και υποταξαι αυτω τα παντα.
