PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER III

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 Beware of dogs, beware of evil-workers, beware 
of the concision. 
3 For we are the circumcision, which 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 law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting 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
for 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 mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that 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 the fellowship of his sufferings, 
being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the 
resurrection of the dead. 
12 Not as though I had already attained, either 
were already perfect: 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 unto 
those things which are before, 
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of 
the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be 
thus minded: and if in anything 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 ye 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 their shame, who 
mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from 
whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord 
Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may 
be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according
to the working whereby he is able even to subdue 
all things unto himself.
