腓立比书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以認識基督為至寶
3 最後,我的弟兄們,你們要靠著主喜樂。我寫這些話給你們,在我並不困難,對你們卻是妥當的。
2 你們要提防那些“狗”,提防作惡的,提防行割禮的。 3 其實我們這些靠 神的靈來敬拜,在基督耶穌裡誇口而不倚靠肉體的人,才是受割禮的, 4 雖然我有理由可以倚靠肉體。如果別人認為可以倚靠肉體,我就更加可以了; 5 我第八天受割禮,屬於以色列民族便雅憫支派,是希伯來人所生的希伯來人。按著律法來說,我是個法利賽人; 6 按著熱誠來說,我是迫害教會的;按著律法上的義來說,我是無可指摘的。 7 然而以前對我有益的,現在因著基督的緣故,我都當作是有損的。 8 不但這樣,我也把萬事當作是有損的,因為我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶。為了他,我把萬事都拋棄了,看作廢物,為了要得著基督。 9 並且得以在他裡面,不是有自己因律法而得的義,而是有因信基督而得的義,就是基於信心,從 神而來的義, 10 使我認識基督和他復活的大能,並且在他所受的苦上有分,受他所受的死; 11 這樣,我也許可以從死人中復活。
向著目標竭力追求
12 這並不是說我已經得著了,已經完全了,而是竭力追求,好使我可以得著基督耶穌所以得著我的(“所以得著我的”或譯:“要我得著的”)。 13 弟兄們,我不以為自己已經得著了,我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力前面的事, 14 向著目標竭力追求,為要得著 神在基督耶穌裡召我往上去得的獎賞。 15 所以,我們中間凡是成熟的人,都應當這樣思想。即使你們不是這樣思想, 神也會把這事指示你們。 16 不過,我們到了甚麼程度,就要照著甚麼程度去行。
切望救主再臨
17 弟兄們,你們要一同效法我,也要留意那些照著我們給你們的榜樣而行的人。 18 我常常告訴你們,現在又流著淚說,有許多人行事為人,是基督十字架的仇敵, 19 他們的結局是滅亡,他們的神是自己的肚腹,他們以自己的羞辱為榮耀,所思想的都是地上的事。 20 但我們是天上的公民,切望救主,就是主耶穌基督,從天上降臨; 21 他要運用那使萬有歸服自己的大能,改變我們這卑賤的身體,和他榮耀的身體相似。
腓立比書 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
認識基督最寶貴
3 弟兄姊妹,你們要靠主喜樂!我再把這些事寫給你們,對我來說並不麻煩,對你們卻有好處。 2 你們要提防那些犬類,那些作惡的人,那些鼓吹必須受割禮[a]才能得救的人。 3 因為真正受割禮的人是我們這些靠著上帝的靈敬拜、以基督耶穌為榮、不倚靠自身條件的人。 4 其實我也可以靠自身的條件。如果別人覺得可以靠自身的條件,我更可以。 5 我出生後第八天就受了割禮,我是以色列人,屬於便雅憫支派,是道道地地的希伯來人。論守律法,我是法利賽人; 6 論熱心,我曾經迫害教會;論律法要求的義,我是無可指責的。 7 但是為了基督,我從前以為有價值的,現在認為毫無價值。 8 不但如此,我看萬事都毫無價值,因為認識我主基督耶穌最寶貴。我為祂失去了一切,我把失去的一切視為垃圾,好得到基督, 9 與祂聯合。我成為義人不是因為遵行律法,而是因為信靠基督。這義從上帝而來,以信為基礎。 10 我渴望認識基督和祂復活的大能,與祂一同受苦,甚至到死的地步[b], 11 這樣我無論如何都可以從死裡復活。
直奔標竿
12 這並不是說我已經得到了或者純全了,我還要竭力追求,或者可以達到基督耶穌要我達到的目標。 13 弟兄姊妹,我並非以為自己已經得到了,我只專注一件事,就是忘記背後,努力向前, 14 直奔目標,要贏得上帝藉著基督耶穌從天上呼召我去得的獎賞。 15 我們中間成熟的基督徒都應該有這樣的看法。即使你們在什麼事上看法不同,上帝也必讓你們明白。 16 然而,我們長進到什麼程度,就照著什麼程度去行。
17 弟兄姊妹,你們要一同效法我,也要向那些以我們為榜樣的人學習。 18 我已經多次告訴你們,現在又流著淚提醒你們:有許多人行事為人與基督的十字架為敵。 19 他們的神就是自己的肚腹,他們以自己的羞恥為榮,只想著地上的事,他們的結局是滅亡。 20 我們卻是天上的國民,殷切等候從天降臨的救主,就是主耶穌基督。 21 那時,祂要以降服萬物的大能將我們這卑賤的軀體改變成像祂那樣榮耀的身體。
Philippians 3
New International Version
No Confidence in the Flesh
3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again,(A) and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs,(B) those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision,(C) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,(D) and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.(E)
If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised(F) on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,(G) of the tribe of Benjamin,(H) a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;(I) 6 as for zeal,(J) persecuting the church;(K) as for righteousness based on the law,(L) faultless.
7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss(M) for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing(N) Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ(O) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,(P) but that which is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness(Q) that comes from God on the basis of faith.(R) 10 I want to know(S) Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings,(T) becoming like him in his death,(U) 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection(V) from the dead.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,(W) but I press on to take hold(X) of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.(Y) 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(Z) and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on(AA) toward the goal to win the prize(AB) for which God has called(AC) me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Following Paul’s Example
15 All of us, then, who are mature(AD) should take such a view of things.(AE) And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.(AF) 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
17 Join together in following my example,(AG) brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.(AH) 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears,(AI) many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.(AJ) 19 Their destiny(AK) is destruction, their god is their stomach,(AL) and their glory is in their shame.(AM) Their mind is set on earthly things.(AN) 20 But our citizenship(AO) is in heaven.(AP) And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,(AQ) 21 who, by the power(AR) that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies(AS) so that they will be like his glorious body.(AT)

Philippians 3
King James Version
3 Finally, 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.
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 thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an 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 Yea 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,
9 And 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:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not 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.
13 Brethren, 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,
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 perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, 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:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who 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.
