Philippians 3 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Goal of Life

Phl 3:1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

Phl 3:2

Phl 3:2Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the [fn]false circumcision;

Phl 3:3

Phl 3:3for we are the true [fn]circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory 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

Phl 3:7But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Phl 3:8

Phl 3:8More than that, I count all things to be loss [fn]in view 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 may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of 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.

Phl 3:12

Phl 3:12Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on [fn]so that I may lay hold of that [fn]for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

Phl 3:13

Phl 3:13Brethren, I do not regard 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, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

Phl 3:16

Phl 3:16however, let us keep [fn]living by that same standard to which we have attained.

Phl 3:17

Phl 3:17Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.

Phl 3:18

Phl 3:18For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,

Phl 3:19

Phl 3:19whose end is destruction, whose god is their [fn]appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds 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 the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
