  3:1 ¶
HENCEFORTH, my brethren, rejoice in our Lord. To write the very same (things) to you, to me is not weariness, because they make you [the more] cautious. |
|
3:1
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in our Lord. To write these [things] again and again to you, is not irksome to me, because they make you cautious. |
|
3:2
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the cutting of the flesh. |
|
3:2
Beware of dogs; beware of evil doers; beware of the clipped in flesh. |
|
3:3
For the circumcision are we, who serve Aloha in the spirit, and glory in Jeshu the Meshiha, and confide not on the flesh. |
|
3:3
For we are the [real] circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Jesus the Messiah, and place no reliance on the flesh. |
|
3:4
Yet I may have confidence on the flesh. For if any one consider that his confidence is in the flesh, I [have] more than he. |
|
3:4
And yet I might place reliance on the flesh. For, if any one thinketh that his reliance should be on the flesh, I might [do so] more than he. |
|
3:5
Circumcised the son of eight days, of the family of Israel, of the tribe of Benyomin, Ebroia of Ebroyee; in the law, Pharisha; |
|
3:5
Circumcised when eight days old; of the stock of Israel; of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew, descendant of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; |
|
3:6
in zeal, a persecutor of the church; and in the righteousness of the law, without fault have I been. |
|
3:6
as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; and as to the righteousness of the law, I was without fault. |
|
3:7
But these things which were my gain, I have reckoned loss for the Meshiha; |
|
3:7
But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah. |
|
3:8
and I also (still) reckon them all loss, for the grandeur of the knowledge of Jeshu Meshiha my Lord; for whose sake I have lost all things, and have reckoned as dung, that the Meshiha I may gain, |
|
3:8
And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted [them] as dung, that I might gain the Messiah, |
|
3:9
and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of the Meshiha, which is righteousness that is from Aloha: |
|
3:9
and be found in him; since my righteousness is not [now] that from the law, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness which is from God; |
|
3:10
that in it I may know Jeshu, and the power of his resurrection, and have fellowship in his sufferings, and be conformed into his death, |
|
3:10
that thereby I might know Jesus, and the efficacy of his resurrection; and might participate in his sufferings, and be assimilated to his death: |
|
3:11
that any how I may be able to come to the resurrection which is from among the dead. |
|
3:11
if so be, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. |
|
3:12
I have not yet received, nor (am I) yet perfected; but I run, that so I may lay hold on that for the sake of which Jeshu the Meshiha hath laid hold on me. |
|
3:12
Not as though I had already taken [the prize], or were already complete; but I run [in the race], if so I may take that, for which Jesus the Messiah took me. |
|
3:13 ¶
MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me I stretch, |
|
3:13
My brethren, I do not consider myself, as having taken [it]. But one thing I know, that I forget the things behind me, and reach for the things before me; |
|
3:14
and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha. |
|
3:14
and I run straight for the goal, that I may obtain the [prize] of victory of the call of God from on high, by Jesus the Messiah. |
|
3:15
Let those, then, who are mature consider these things; and if otherwise you consider, this also will Aloha reveal to you. |
|
3:15
Therefore let those who are perfect, have these views; and if ye differently view any thing, God will reveal that also to you. |
|
3:16
Nevertheless, that to this we may attain, in one way let us proceed, and with one consent. |
|
3:16
Nevertheless, that we may attain to this, let us proceed on in one path, and with one consent. |
|
3:17
Be like me, my brethren, and consider them who so walk according to the pattern you have seen in us. |
|
3:17
Be like me, my brethren; and contemplate them, who walk after the pattern ye have seen in us. |
|
3:18
For there are many who walk otherwise, of whom many times I have told you, but now weeping I tell you, they are adversaries of the cross of the Meshiha; |
|
3:18
For there are many who walk otherwise; of whom I have often told you, and I now tell you, with weeping, that they are adversaries of the cross of the Messiah; |
|
3:19
they, whose end is perdition, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame; they, whose mind is in the earth. |
|
3:19
whose end is destruction; whose god is their belly, and their glory their shame; whose thoughts are on things of the earth. |
|
3:20
But our employment is in heaven, and from thence we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, |
|
3:20
But our concern is with heaven; and from thence we expect our Vivifier, our Lord, Jesus the Messiah; |
|
3:21
who will change the body of our abasement to make (it) in the fashion of his glorious body, according to his great power, by which all is subjected unto him. |
|
3:21
who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him. |
