Philippians 3 : King James Version

3 1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To
write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for
you it is safe. 2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers,
beware of the concision. 3For we are the circumcision,
which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and
have no confidence in the flesh. 4Though I might also
have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5Circumcised
the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an
Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6Concerning
zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in
the law, blameless. 7But what things were gain to me,
those I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea doubtless, and I
count all things but loss for the excellency 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, 9And
be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the
law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the
righteousness which is of God by faith: 10That I may know
him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11If
by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12Not as though I had already attained, either were already
perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I
count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let
us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any
thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us
walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 17Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have
us for an ensample. 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: 19Whose end is destruction, whose
God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind
earthly things.) 20For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working
whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
