1 Finally, my brothers, 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 thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a 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 Yes doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellence 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 my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the supernatural belief and trust of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by supernatural belief and trust, 10 so that I may know Him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death; 11 If by any means I might attain into the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already complete: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to 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 mature, be thus minded: and if in anything you be otherwise minded, God shall unveil even this to you. * 16 Nevertheless, that into which we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 17 Fellow believers, be followers together of me, and direct your attention to those who walk in this way since you have us for an example. * 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 innermost mind, and whose most exalted state is in their shame, who direct their minds toward earthly things.) 20 For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which, also, we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 Who shall change our vile body so that it may be fashioned like His glorious Body, according to the working with which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
