Philippians 3 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

Finally^G3062, my brothers^G80, rejoice^G5463 in the Lord^G2962. To write^G1125 the same^G846 things^G846 again is no^G3756 trouble^G3636 to me, and it is a safeguard^G804 for you.

Phl 3:2

Beware^G991 of the dogs^G2965! Beware^G991 of the evil^G2556 workers^G2040! Beware^G991 of the [fn]mutilation^G2699!

Phl 3:3

Phl 3:3For we are the [fn]circumcision, who worship [fn]in the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

Phl 3:4

Phl 3:4although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more:

Phl 3:5

Phl 3:5circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

Phl 3:6

Phl 3:6as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

Phl 3:7

But whatever^G3748 things^G3748 were gain^G2771 to me, those^G3778 things^G3778 I have counted^G2233 as loss^G2209 for the sake^G1223 of Christ^G5547.

Phl 3:8

Phl 3:8More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of [fn]knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, [fn]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ

Phl 3:9

Phl 3:9and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own which is from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith,

Phl 3:10

Phl 3:10that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and [fn]the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Phl 3:11

Phl 3:11 [fn]in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing On Toward the Goal

Phl 3:12

Not that I have already^G2235 obtained^G2983 it or^G2228 have already^G2235 become perfect^G5048, but I press^G1377 on [fn]so^G2532 that I may lay^G2638 hold^G2638 of^G2638 that [fn]for which^G3739 also^G2532 I was laid^G2638 hold^G2638 of^G2638 by Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

Phl 3:13

Phl 3:13Brothers, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

Phl 3:14

Phl 3:14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Phl 3:15

Phl 3:15Let us therefore, as many as are [fn]perfect, think this way; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal that also to you.

Phl 3:16

Phl 3:16However, let us keep [fn]walking in step with the same standard to which we have attained.

Phl 3:17

Brothers^G80, join^G4831^G1096 in^G4831 following^G4831 my example^G4831, and look^G4648 for those^G3588 who walk^G4043 according^G2531 to the pattern^G5179 you have^G2192 in us.

Phl 3:18

Phl 3:18For many walk—of whom I often told you, and now tell you even crying—as enemies of the cross of Christ,

Phl 3:19

Phl 3:19whose end is destruction, whose god is their stomach and glory is in their shame, who set their thoughts on earthly things.

Phl 3:20

Phl 3:20For our [fn]citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Phl 3:21

Phl 3:21who will transform [fn]the body of our humble state into conformity with [fn]the body of His glory, by His working through which He is able to even subject all things to Himself.
