腓 立 比 書 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
基督比一切都重要
3 我的兄弟们,在主内欢喜吧。我重复这些话对我一点也不麻烦,但是对你们却很有益。 2 要提防那些做恶的人,他们就像狗一样。他们就是那些要割 [a]身体的人。 3 我们才是真正受过割礼的人。我们通过上帝的圣灵敬拜他,我们为在基督耶稣里而感到骄傲。我们不相信外在的东西。 4 (尽管我们有理由相信)如果有人认为他有理由相信外在的东西的话, 5 那么,我就更有理由了。我生下来第八天就受了割礼。我属于以色列,属于便雅悯支派。我是纯血统的犹太人, 我父母也是犹太人。因为律法对我非常重要,我成为法利赛人 [b]。 6 就我的狂热来说我迫害过教会。就律法来说(我总是遵守律法),我无可指责。 7 相反,以前我的所得,现在为了基督耶稣的缘故,我认为它们都是失去。 8 不但如此,我以认识我主基督耶稣为无与伦比的卓越的事情,所以,其它一切事情都是失去。为了他,我失去了一切,视一切为粪土,以便我可以赢得基督,并在他之中被所知。 9 我现在的正义,不是建立在律法的基础上,而是通过对基督的信仰得到的。这义来自上帝,是建立在信仰的基础上的。 10 我想认识基督,并体验他从死里复活时所展示的力量。我也想和他一同受难,在他的死里,变得像他一样, 11 如果我有了这些,那么我自己就会有从死里复活的希望。
努力达到目标
12 这并不是说,我已赢得了奖励,或已变得完美,而是要继续努力,争取得到这奖励。为了这奖励,基督已先赢得了我。 13 兄弟们,我不认为自己达到了这个目标。但是我只专心一件事:忘记过去,尽最大的努力达到前面的目标。 14 我朝目标奔去,为的是要得到这个奖励。这个奖励就是上帝通过基督召唤我去领受的属天的生命。
15 希望我们这些在精神上成熟起来的人都这么想。如果你们对某个观点持不同的看法,上帝会让你们对此清楚明白的。 16 无论如何,我们都应该坚持我们已经获得的真理。
17 兄弟们,你们都应该努力像我一样生活,象那些我们为你们树立了榜样的人学习。 18 就像我以前多次告诫过你们的那样,现在我甚至流着眼泪再次对你们说,有许多人是做为基督十字架的敌人活着的。 19 他们的结局是毁灭。他们的上帝是他们肉体的欲望,他们为他们应该感到羞愧的事情而骄傲,他们只考虑尘世间的事情。 20 但是,我们的家园在天堂里,我们正等待着一位救世主、我们的主耶稣基督从天而降。 21 他凭使万物归顺他的大能,改变我们卑贱的身体,使之变得像他的荣耀的身体一样。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
认识基督最宝贵
3 弟兄姊妹,你们要靠主喜乐!我再把这些事写给你们,对我来说并不麻烦,对你们却有好处。 2 你们要提防那些犬类,那些作恶的人,那些鼓吹必须受割礼[a]才能得救的人。 3 因为真正受割礼的人是我们这些靠着上帝的灵敬拜、以基督耶稣为荣、不倚靠自身条件的人。 4 其实我也可以靠自身的条件。如果别人觉得可以靠自身的条件,我更可以。 5 我出生后第八天就受了割礼,我是以色列人,属于便雅悯支派,是地地道道的希伯来人。论守律法,我是法利赛人; 6 论热心,我曾经迫害教会;论律法要求的义,我是无可指责的。 7 但是为了基督,我从前以为有价值的,现在认为毫无价值。 8 不但如此,我看万事都毫无价值,因为认识我主基督耶稣最宝贵。我为祂失去了一切,我把失去的一切视为垃圾,好得到基督, 9 与祂联合。我成为义人不是因为遵行律法,而是因为信靠基督。这义从上帝而来,以信为基础。 10 我渴望认识基督和祂复活的大能,与祂一同受苦,甚至到死的地步[b], 11 这样我无论如何都可以从死里复活。
直奔标竿
12 这并不是说我已经得到了或者纯全了,我还要竭力追求,或者可以达到基督耶稣要我达到的目标。 13 弟兄姊妹,我并非以为自己已经得到了,我只专注一件事,就是忘记背后,努力向前, 14 直奔目标,要赢得上帝借着基督耶稣从天上呼召我去得的奖赏。 15 我们中间成熟的基督徒都应该有这样的看法。即使你们在什么事上看法不同,上帝也必让你们明白。 16 然而,我们长进到什么程度,就照着什么程度去行。
17 弟兄姊妹,你们要一同效法我,也要向那些以我们为榜样的人学习。 18 我已经多次告诉你们,现在又流着泪提醒你们:有许多人行事为人与基督的十字架为敌。 19 他们的神就是自己的肚腹,他们以自己的羞耻为荣,只想着地上的事,他们的结局是灭亡。 20 我们却是天上的国民,殷切等候从天降临的救主,就是主耶稣基督。 21 那时,祂要以降服万物的大能将我们这卑贱的躯体改变成像祂那样荣耀的身体。
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.
