GNT

1 τὸ λοιπόν, ἀδελφοί μου, χαίρετε ἐν κυρίῳ. τὰ αὐτὰ γράφειν ὑμῖν ἐμοὶ μὲν οὐκ ὀκνηρόν, ὑμῖν δὲ ἀσφαλές.

2 βλέπετε τοὺς κύνας, βλέπετε τοὺς κακοὺς ἐργάτας, βλέπετε τὴν κατατομήν.

3 ἡμεῖς γάρ ἐσμεν ἡ περιτομή, οἱ πνεύματι θεοῦ λατρεύοντες καὶ καυχώμενοι ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐν σαρκὶ πεποιθότες,

4 καίπερ ἐγὼ ἔχων πεποίθησιν καὶ ἐν σαρκί. εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἄλλος πεποιθέναι ἐν σαρκί, ἐγὼ μᾶλλον·

5 περιτομῇ ὀκταήμερος, ἐκ γένους ἰσραήλ, φυλῆς βενιαμίν, ἑβραῖος ἐξ ἑβραίων, κατὰ νόμον φαρισαῖος,

6 κατὰ ζῆλος διώκων τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐν νόμῳ γενόμενος ἄμεμπτος.

7 [ἀλλὰ] ἅτινα ἦν μοι κέρδη, ταῦτα ἥγημαι διὰ τὸν χριστὸν ζημίαν.

8 ἀλλὰ μενοῦνγε καὶ ἡγοῦμαι πάντα ζημίαν εἶναι διὰ τὸ ὑπερέχον τῆς γνώσεως χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου, δι᾽ ὃν τὰ πάντα ἐζημιώθην, καὶ ἡγοῦμαι σκύβαλα ἵνα χριστὸν κερδήσω

9 καὶ εὑρεθῶ ἐν αὐτῶ, μὴ ἔχων ἐμὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου ἀλλὰ τὴν διὰ πίστεως χριστοῦ, τὴν ἐκ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει,

10 τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ καὶ [τὴν] κοινωνίαν [τῶν] παθημάτων αὐτοῦ, συμμορφιζόμενος τῶ θανάτῳ αὐτοῦ,

11 εἴ πως καταντήσω εἰς τὴν ἐξανάστασιν τὴν ἐκ νεκρῶν.

12 οὐχ ὅτι ἤδη ἔλαβον ἢ ἤδη τετελείωμαι, διώκω δὲ εἰ καὶ καταλάβω, ἐφ᾽ ᾧ καὶ κατελήμφθην ὑπὸ χριστοῦ [ἰησοῦ].

13 ἀδελφοί, ἐγὼ ἐμαυτὸν οὐ λογίζομαι κατειληφέναι· ἓν δέ, τὰ μὲν ὀπίσω ἐπιλανθανόμενος τοῖς δὲ ἔμπροσθεν ἐπεκτεινόμενος,

14 κατὰ σκοπὸν διώκω εἰς τὸ βραβεῖον τῆς ἄνω κλήσεως τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ.

15 ὅσοι οὗν τέλειοι, τοῦτο φρονῶμεν· καὶ εἴ τι ἑτέρως φρονεῖτε, καὶ τοῦτο ὁ θεὸς ὑμῖν ἀποκαλύψει·

16 πλὴν εἰς ὃ ἐφθάσαμεν, τῶ αὐτῶ στοιχεῖν.

17 συμμιμηταί μου γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί, καὶ σκοπεῖτε τοὺς οὕτω περιπατοῦντας καθὼς ἔχετε τύπον ἡμᾶς.

18 πολλοὶ γὰρ περιπατοῦσιν οὓς πολλάκις ἔλεγον ὑμῖν, νῦν δὲ καὶ κλαίων λέγω, τοὺς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῦ χριστοῦ,

19 ὧν τὸ τέλος ἀπώλεια, ὧν ὁ θεὸς ἡ κοιλία καὶ ἡ δόξα ἐν τῇ αἰσχύνῃ αὐτῶν, οἱ τὰ ἐπίγεια φρονοῦντες.

20 ἡμῶν γὰρ τὸ πολίτευμα ἐν οὐρανοῖς ὑπάρχει, ἐξ οὖ καὶ σωτῆρα ἀπεκδεχόμεθα κύριον ἰησοῦν χριστόν,

21 ὃς μετασχηματίσει τὸ σῶμα τῆς ταπεινώσεως ἡμῶν σύμμορφον τῶ σώματι τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ δύνασθαι αὐτὸν καὶ ὑποτάξαι αὐτῶ τὰ πάντα.

1  Finally,³⁰⁶³ my³⁴⁵⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ rejoice⁵⁴⁶³ in¹⁷²² the Lord.²⁹⁶² To write¹¹²⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ same things⁸⁴⁶ to you,⁵²¹³ to me¹⁶⁹⁸ indeed³³⁰³ is not³⁷⁵⁶ grievous,³⁶³⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ for you⁵²¹³ it is safe.⁸⁰⁴

2  Beware⁹⁹¹ of dogs,²⁹⁶⁵ beware⁹⁹¹ of evil²⁵⁵⁶ workers,²⁰⁴⁰ beware⁹⁹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ concision.²⁶⁹⁹

3  For¹⁰⁶³ we²²⁴⁹ are²⁰⁷⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ circumcision,⁴⁰⁶¹ which worship³⁰⁰⁰ God²³¹⁶ in the spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² rejoice²⁷⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² have no confidence^{3982 3756} in¹⁷²² the flesh.⁴⁵⁶¹

4  Though²⁵³⁹ I¹⁴⁷³ might also²⁵³² have²¹⁹² confidence⁴⁰⁰⁶ in¹⁷²² the flesh.⁴⁵⁶¹ If any¹⁵³⁶ other man²⁴³ thinketh¹³⁸⁰ that he hath whereof he might trust³⁹⁸² in¹⁷²² the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ more:³¹²³

5  Circumcised⁴⁰⁶¹ the eighth day,³⁶³⁷ of¹⁵³⁷ the stock¹⁰⁸⁵ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ of the tribe⁵⁴⁴³ of Benjamin,⁹⁵⁸ a Hebrew¹⁴⁴⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ the Hebrews;¹⁴⁴⁵ as touching²⁵⁹⁶ the law,³⁵⁵¹ a Pharisee;⁵³³⁰

6  Concerning²⁵⁹⁶ zeal,²²⁰⁵ persecuting¹³⁷⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ church;¹⁵⁷⁷ touching²⁵⁹⁶ the righteousness¹³⁴³ which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² the law,³⁵⁵¹ blameless.²⁷³

7  But²³⁵ what things³⁷⁴⁸ were²²⁵⁸ gain²⁷⁷¹ to me,³⁴²⁷ those⁵⁰²³ I counted²²³³ loss²²⁰⁹ for¹²²³ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

8  Yea²³⁵ doubtless,³³⁰⁴ and²⁵³² I count²²³³ all things³⁹⁵⁶ but¹⁵¹¹ loss²²⁰⁹ for¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ excellency⁵²⁴² of the³⁵⁸⁸ knowledge¹¹⁰⁸ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ my³⁴⁵⁰ Lord:²⁹⁶² for¹²²³ whom³⁷³⁹ I have suffered the loss²²¹⁰ of all things,³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² do count²²³³ them¹⁵¹¹ but dung,⁴⁶⁵⁷ that²⁴⁴³ I may win²⁷⁷⁰ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷

9  And²⁵³² be found²¹⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² him,⁸⁴⁶ not³³⁶¹ having²¹⁹² mine own¹⁶⁹⁹ righteousness,¹³⁴³ which³⁵⁸⁸ is of¹⁵³⁷ the law,³⁵⁵¹ but²³⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ which is through¹²²³ the faith⁴¹⁰² of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ righteousness¹³⁴³ which is of¹⁵³⁷ God²³¹⁶ by¹⁹⁰⁹ faith:⁴¹⁰²

10  That I may know¹⁰⁹⁷ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ power¹⁴¹¹ of his⁸⁴⁶ resurrection,³⁸⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ fellowship²⁸⁴² of his⁸⁴⁶ sufferings,³⁸⁰⁴ being made conformable⁴⁸³³ unto his⁸⁴⁶ death;²²⁸⁸

11  If by any means¹⁵¹³ I might attain²⁶⁵⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ resurrection¹⁸¹⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ dead.³⁴⁹⁸

12  Not³⁷⁵⁶ as though³⁷⁵⁴ I had already²²³⁵ attained,²⁹⁸³ either²²²⁸ were already perfect:^{5048 2235} but¹¹⁶¹ I follow after,¹³⁷⁷ if that¹⁴⁹⁹ I may apprehend²⁶³⁸ that for¹⁹⁰⁹ which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² I am apprehended²⁶³⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

13  Brethren,⁸⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ count³⁰⁴⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ myself¹⁶⁸³ to have apprehended:²⁶³⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ this one thing¹⁵²⁰ I do, forgetting¹⁹⁵⁰ those things which are behind,^{3694 3303} and¹¹⁶¹ reaching forth¹⁹⁰¹ unto those things which are before,¹⁷¹⁵

14  I press¹³⁷⁷ toward²⁵⁹⁶ the mark⁴⁶⁴⁹ for¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ prize¹⁰¹⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ high⁵⁰⁷ calling²⁸²¹ of God²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

15  Let us therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ be perfect,⁵⁰⁴⁶ be thus minded:^{5426 5124} and²⁵³² if in any thing¹⁵³⁶ ye be otherwise minded,^{5426 2088} God²³¹⁶ shall reveal⁶⁰¹ even²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁴ unto you.⁵²¹³

16  Nevertheless,⁴¹³³ whereto^{1519 3739} we have already attained,⁵³⁴⁸ let us walk⁴⁷⁴⁸ by the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ rule,²⁵⁸³ let us mind⁵⁴²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ same thing.⁸⁴⁶

17  Brethren,⁸⁰ be¹⁰⁹⁶ followers together⁴⁸³¹ of me,³⁴⁵⁰ and²⁵³² mark⁴⁶⁴⁸ them which walk⁴⁰⁴³ so³⁷⁷⁹ as²⁵³¹ ye have²¹⁹² us²²⁴⁸ for an example.⁵¹⁷⁹

18  (For¹⁰⁶³ many⁴¹⁸³ walk,⁴⁰⁴³ of whom³⁷³⁹ I have told³⁰⁰⁴ you⁵²¹³ often,⁴¹⁷⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁶⁸ tell³⁰⁰⁴ you even²⁵³² weeping,²⁷⁹⁹ that they are the³⁵⁸⁸ enemies²¹⁹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ cross⁴⁷¹⁶ of Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷

19  Whose³⁷³⁹ end⁵⁰⁵⁶ is destruction,⁶⁸⁴ whose³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ is their belly,²⁸³⁶ and²⁵³² whose glory¹³⁹¹ is in¹⁷²² their⁸⁴⁶ shame,¹⁵² who mind⁵⁴²⁶ earthly things.)¹⁹¹⁹

20  For¹⁰⁶³ our²²⁵⁷ conversation⁴¹⁷⁵ is⁵²²⁵ in¹⁷²² heaven;³⁷⁷² from¹⁵³⁷ whence³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² we look for⁵⁵³ the Savior,⁴⁹⁹⁰ the Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷

21  Who³⁷³⁹ shall change³³⁴⁵ our²²⁵⁷ vile⁵⁰¹⁴ body,⁴⁹⁸³ that it⁸⁴⁶ may be fashioned¹⁰⁹⁶ like unto⁴⁸³² his⁸⁴⁶ glorious¹³⁹¹ body,⁴⁹⁸³ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ working¹⁷⁵³ whereby³⁵⁸⁸ he⁸⁴⁶ is able¹⁴¹⁰ even²⁵³² to subdue⁵²⁹³ all things³⁹⁵⁶ unto himself.¹⁴³⁸

Vul

1 De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.

2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.

3 Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Jesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,

4 quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,

5 circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israël, de tribu Benjamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem pharisæus,

6 secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum justitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela.

7 Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.

8 Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Jesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,

9 et inveniar in illo non habens meam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Jesu: quæ ex Deo est justitia in fide,

10 ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis ejus, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti ejus:

11 si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:

12 non quod jam acceperim, aut jam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Jesu.

13 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem, quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,

14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Jesu.

15 Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.

16 Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.

17 Imitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.

18 Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:

19 quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.

20 Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem exspectamus Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,

21 qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subjicere sibi omnia.
