Obutuukirivu obwa Nnama ddala
3 Ebisigaddeyo, baganda bange, musanyukirenga mu Mukama waffe. Okuddamu ebyo bye nnabawandiikira edda tekunkooya kubanga kyongera kubanyweza. 2 (A)Mwekuumenga embwa, era mwekuumenga ab’empisa embi, era mwekuumenga abakomola omubiri. 3 (B)Kubanga ffe bakomole, abasinza Katonda ng’Omwoyo bw’atuluŋŋamya, era twenyumiririza mu Kristo Yesu so tetwesiga mubiri.
4 Ne bwe kwandibadde okwesiga omubiri, omuntu omulala yenna bw’alowooza okuba n’obwesige mu mubiri, nze musinga. 5 (C)Kubanga nze nakomolebwa ku lunaku olw’omunaana. Ndi Muyisirayiri, ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, Omwebbulaniya wawu, era mu mateeka ndi Mufalisaayo, 6 (D)eyanyiikira okuyigganya ekkanisa, eyali omutuukirivu mu mateeka, nga siriiko kya kunenyezebwa.
7 (E)Naye ebyo byonna ebyali omugabo gye ndi, nabiraba nga butaliimu. 8 (F)Naye okusinga byonna, byonna mbiraba ng’okufiirwa, kubanga okutegeera Kristo Yesu Mukama wange, kusinga ebirala byonna. Olwa Kristo nafiirwa ebintu byonna, era mbiraba ng’ebisasiro, ndyoke ngobolole Kristo, 9 (G)ndabikire mu ye nga sirina butuukirivu bwange ku bwange obuva mu kukwata amateeka, wabula nga nnina obutuukirivu obuva mu kukkiriza Kristo, era obuva eri Katonda obwesigamye ku kukkiriza. 10 (H)Njagala okussa ekimu mu bibonoobono bye, nga mmufaanana mu kufa kwe, mmumanye era ntegeere amaanyi g’okuzuukira kwe, 11 (I)nga nsuubira nga nange ndizuukira.
12 (J)Sigamba nti mmaze okufuna oba nti mmaze okutuukirira, wabula nfuba okufuna ekyo Kristo Yesu kye yagenderera nfune. 13 (K)Abooluganda, mmanyi nti sinnakifuna, naye kye nkola kwe kwerabira ebyo ebiri emabega ne nduubirira ebyo ebiri mu maaso. 14 (L)Nduubirira okutuuka awawakanirwa awali empeera ey’okuyita kwa Katonda okwa waggulu mu Kristo Yesu.
15 (M)Noolwekyo ffe ffenna abatuukiridde ekyo kye tusaana okulowoozanga, naye obanga mulowooza bulala, na kino Katonda alikibabikkulira. 16 Naye ka tunywerere ku ekyo kye tutuuseeko.
17 (N)Kale, abooluganda, mwegatte n’abo abangoberera era mugobererenga abo abatambulira mu ebyo bye twabalaga. 18 (O)Ekyo newaakubadde nkibabuulidde emirundi emingi, nkiddamu nga nkaaba n’amaziga, nti waliwo abalabe b’omusaalaba gwa Kristo, 19 (P)era ekibalindiridde kwe kuzikirira, kubanga okulya kubafuukidde katonda waabwe, ebyo ebyandibakwasizza ensonyi kye kitiibwa kyabwe era balowooza bintu bya mu nsi. 20 (Q)Kyokka ffe obutaka bwaffe buli mu ggulu, era Omulokozi, Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, gye tumulindirira okuva. 21 (R)Kale bw’alijja emibiri gyaffe gino eminafu egifa aligifuula ng’ogugwe ogw’ekitiibwa, ng’akozesa amaanyi okussa ebintu byonna mu buyinza bwe.

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.

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)
