tcent Philippians:3
tcent@Philippians:3:1 @ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
tcent@Philippians:3:2 @ Watch out for the dogs, watch out for the evil workers, watch out for those mutilators of the body.
tcent@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,
tcent@Philippians:3:4 @ though I myself have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:
tcent@Philippians:3:5 @ 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;
tcent@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.
tcent@Philippians:3:7 @ But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
tcent@Philippians:3:8 @ More than that, I count everything to be 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
tcent@Philippians:3:9 @ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christthe righteousness that comes from God and is by faith,
tcent@Philippians:3:10 @ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death;
tcent@Philippians:3:11 @ in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
tcent@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
tcent@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
tcent@Philippians:3:14 @ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
tcent@Philippians:3:15 @ Let those of us who are mature have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you.
tcent@Philippians:3:16 @ Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
tcent@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who live according to the pattern you have in us.
tcent@Philippians:3:18 @ For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
tcent@Philippians:3:19 @ Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
tcent@Philippians:3:20 @ But our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
tcent@Philippians:3:21 @ who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
