Philippians 3:1~14
1
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.
2
Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
3
For we are the real circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh--
4
though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
6
as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness, under the law blameless.
7
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
8
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
9
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith--
10
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
11
that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
12
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
13
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
