Philippians:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the rest my brothers ,
rejoice in the Lord .
To write the same things to you truly is not tiresome to me ,
but safe for you .
*
Look out for the dogs ,
look out for the evil workers ,
look out for the concision party .
*
For we are the circumcision ,
the ones who worship by the Spirit of God ,
and who glory in Christ Jesus ,
and who do not trust in flesh .
*
Though I also might have trust in flesh ;
if any other thinks to trust in flesh ,
I more ;
*
in circumcision ,
the eighth day ,
of the race of Israel ,
the tribe of Benjamin ,
a Hebrew of the Hebrews ;
according to Law ,
a Pharisee ;
*
according to zeal ,
persecuting the church ;
according to righteousness in Law ,
being blameless .
*
But what things were gain to me ,
these I have counted loss because of Christ .
*
But ,
nay ,
rather I also count all things to be loss because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord ,
for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them to be trash ,
that I might gain Christ
*
and be found in Him ;
not having my own righteousness of Law ,
but through the faith of Christ ,
having the righteousness of God on faith ,
*
to know Him and the power of His resurrection ,
and the fellowship of His sufferings ,
having been conformed to His death ,
*
if somehow I may attain to a resurrection out of the dead .
*
Not that I already received or already have been perfected ,
but I press on ,
if I also may lay hold ,
inasmuch as I also was laid hold of by Christ Jesus .
*
Brothers ,
I do not count myself to have laid hold ,
but one thing I do ,
forgetting the things behind ,
and stretching forward to those things before ,
*
I press on after the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus .
*
Then as many as are perfect ,
let us be of this mind ;
and if you think anything differently ,
God will also reveal this to you .
*
Yet as to where we have arrived ,
walk by the same rule ,
being of the same mind .
*
Be fellow-imitators of me ,
brothers ,
and consider those walking this way ,
even as you have us for a pattern .
*
For many walk as the enemies of the cross of Christ ,
of whom I often told you ,
and now even weeping I say it ,
*
whose end is destruction ,
whose god is the belly ,
and who glory in their shame ,
those who mind earthly things .
*
For our citizenship is in Heaven ,
from where we also wait for a Savior ,
the Lord Jesus Christ ,
*
who will transform our body of humiliation ,
for it to be conformed to His body of glory ,
according to the working of His power ,
even to put all things under Himself .
