빌립보서 3
Korean Living Bible
거짓 선생을 주의하라
3 형제 여러분, 마지막으로 말합니다. 주님 안에서 기뻐하십시오. 여러분에게 같은 말을 다시 쓰는 것이 내게는 귀찮은 일이 아닙니다. 이렇게 하는 것이 오히려 여러분에게 안전합니다.
2 포피를 베어 할례한 것을 자랑하며 악을 행하는 개 같은 자들을 주의하십시오.
3 하나님의 성령으로 예배하고 그리스도 예수님을 자랑하며 육적인 것을 신뢰하지 않는 우리가 참 할례를 받은 사람입니다.
4 사실 나도 육적인 것을 신뢰할 수 있습니다. 만일 다른 사람이 육적인 것을 신뢰할 만한 이유가 있다고 생각한다면 나는 더욱 그렇습니다.
5 나는 태어난 지 8일 만에 할례를 받았고 베냐민 지파에 속한 순수한 이스라엘 사람이며 히브리인 중의 히브리인입니다. 그리고 율법을 철저히 지키는 바리새파 사람이었고
6 교회를 박해하기까지 한 열심을 가졌으며 율법에 비추어 보아도 흠이 없는 사람이었습니다.
7 그러나 내게 유익하던 그 모든 것을 나는 그리스도를 위해 다 버렸습니다.
8 더구나 내가 모든 것을 잃어버린 것처럼 여기는 것은 내 주 그리스도 예수님을 아는 지식이 훨씬 더 가치가 있기 때문입니다. 나는 그리스도를 위해 모든 것을 잃어버렸습니다. 내가 그 모든 것을 쓰레기처럼 여기는 것은 그리스도를 얻고
9 그분과 완전히 하나가 되기 위한 것입니다. 이제 나는 율법을 지켜서 내 스스로 의롭게 된 것이 아니라 그리스도를 믿음으로 의롭게 되었습니다. 이 의는 어디까지나 믿음에 근거한 것이며 하나님이 주신 것입니다.
10 내가 원하는 것은 그리스도를 바로 알고 그분의 부활의 능력을 체험하며 그분의 고난에 참여하고 그분의 죽음을 본받아
11 어떻게 해서든 나도 부활하는 것입니다.
목표를 향해 달려라
12 내가 이 모든 것을 이미 얻었다는 것도 아니며 완전해졌다는 것도 아닙니다. 다만 [a]그리스도 예수님이 나를 위해 마련하신 상을 받으려고 계속 달려가고 있습니다.
13 형제 여러분, 나는 그것을 이미 얻었다고 생각하지 않습니다. 그러나 한 가지 일만은 분명히 하고 있습니다. 즉 뒤에 있는 것은 잊어버리고 앞에 있는 것을 잡으려고
14 그리스도 예수님 안에서 하나님이 위에서 나를 부르신 부름의 상을 얻으려고 목표를 향해 달려가고 있습니다.
15 그러므로 믿음이 성숙한 사람들은 모두 이와 같은 생각으로 살아야 합니다. 만일 여러분이 나와 다른 생각을 가지고 있다면 하나님은 그것도 분명하게 바로 가르쳐 주실 것입니다.
16 우리가 어느 정도의 수준에 도달했든지 지금까지 따른 법칙에 따라 계속 그대로 살도록 합시다.
17 형제 여러분, 여러분은 나를 본받으십시오. 그리고 우리를 본받아 생활하는 사람들을 지켜 보십시오.
18 여러분에게 내가 여러 번 말했고 이제도 눈물을 흘리며 말하지만 많은 사람들이 그리스도의 십자가의 원수가 되어 살고 있습니다.
19 그들의 마지막은 멸망입니다. 그들은 [b]육체의 욕망을 자기들의 신으로 삼고 수치를 영광으로 알며 세상적인 일만 생각합니다.
20 그러나 우리의 시민권은 하늘에 있습니다. 그리고 우리는 우리의 구주이신 주 예수 그리스도께서 그 곳에서 다시 오실 것을 기다리고 있습니다.
21 그분이 오시면 모든 것을 자기에게 복종시키실 수 있는 그 능력으로 우리의 천한 몸을 변화시켜 자기의 영광스러운 몸과 같게 하실 것입니다.
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
New King James Version
All for Christ
3 Finally, my brethren, (A)rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
2 (B)Beware of dogs, beware of (C)evil workers, (D)beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are (E)the circumcision, (F)who worship [a]God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 4 though (G)I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I (H)more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, (I)of the tribe of Benjamin, (J)a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, (K)a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, (L)persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But (M)what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss (N)for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having (O)my own righteousness, which is from the law, but (P)that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the (Q)power of His resurrection, and (R)the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may (S)attain[b] to the resurrection from the dead.
Pressing Toward the Goal
12 Not that I have already (T)attained,[c] or am already (U)perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [d]apprehended; but one thing I do, (V)forgetting those things which are behind and (W)reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 (X)I press toward the goal for the prize of (Y)the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Therefore let us, as many as are (Z)mature, (AA)have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, (AB)God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already [e]attained, (AC)let us walk (AD)by the same [f]rule, let us be of the same mind.
Our Citizenship in Heaven
17 Brethren, (AE)join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as (AF)you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are (AG)the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 (AH)whose end is destruction, (AI)whose god is their belly, and (AJ)whose glory is in their shame—(AK)who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For (AL)our citizenship is in heaven, (AM)from which we also (AN)eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 (AO)who will transform our lowly body that it may be (AP)conformed to His glorious body, (AQ)according to the working by which He is able even to (AR)subdue all things to Himself.

Knowing Christ
3 In addition, my brothers and sisters, rejoice(A) in the Lord. To write to you again about this is no trouble for me and is a safeguard for you.
2 Watch out for the dogs, watch out for the evil(B) workers, watch out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision,(C) the ones who worship by the Spirit(D) of God, boast in Christ Jesus,(E) and do not put confidence in the flesh— 4 although I have reasons for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised the eighth day;(F) of the nation of Israel,(G) of the tribe of Benjamin,(H) a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law,(I) a Pharisee; 6 regarding zeal,(J) persecuting(K) the church; regarding the righteousness that is in the law,(L) blameless.(M)
7 But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. 8 More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value(N) of knowing Christ(O) Jesus my Lord. Because of him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them as dung, so that I may gain Christ(P) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law,(Q) but one that is through faith in Christ[a]—the righteousness from God based on faith.(R) 10 My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings,(S) being conformed to his death,(T) 11 assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.
Reaching Forward to God’s Goal
12 Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold(U) of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not[b] consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(V) and reaching forward to what is ahead, 14 I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly[c] call in Christ Jesus.(W) 15 Therefore, let all of us who are mature think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal(X) this also to you. 16 In any case, we should live up to whatever truth we have attained. 17 Join in imitating me, brothers and sisters, and pay careful attention to those who live according to the example you have in us. 18 For I have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross(Y) of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction; their god is their stomach; their glory(Z) is in their shame; and they are focused on earthly things. 20 Our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. 21 He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of his glorious(AA) body,(AB) by the power that enables him to subject everything to himself.
