Filipenses 3

Prosigo al blanco
3 Por lo demás, hermanos, gócense en el Señor. A mí no me molesta escribirles las mismas cosas, y para ustedes es mejor.
2 Tengan cuidado de los perros, cuídense de los malos obreros y de los que mutilan el cuerpo. 3 Porque nosotros somos la circuncisión; somos los que servimos a Dios en el Espíritu, los que nos gloriamos en Cristo Jesús y no ponemos nuestra confianza en la carne. 4 Aunque también yo tengo de qué confiar en la carne. Si alguno piensa que tiene de qué confiar en la carne, yo más: 5 fui circuncidado al octavo día, y soy del linaje de Israel, de la tribu de Benjamín;(A) soy hebreo de hebreos y, en cuanto a la ley, fariseo;(B) 6 en cuanto a celo, perseguidor de la iglesia;(C) en cuanto a la justicia que se basa en la ley, irreprensible. 7 Pero todo lo que para mí era ganancia, lo he estimado como pérdida, por amor de Cristo. 8 Y a decir verdad, incluso estimo todo como pérdida por la excelencia del conocimiento de Cristo Jesús, mi Señor. Por su amor lo he perdido todo, y lo veo como basura, para ganar a Cristo 9 y ser hallado en él, no por tener mi propia justicia, que viene por la ley, sino por tener la justicia que es de Dios y que viene por la fe, la fe en Cristo; 10 a fin de conocer a Cristo y el poder de su resurrección, y de participar de sus padecimientos, para llegar a ser semejante a él en su muerte, 11 si es que de alguna manera llego a la resurrección de entre los muertos.
12 No es que ya lo haya alcanzado, ni que ya sea perfecto, sino que sigo adelante, por ver si logro alcanzar aquello para lo cual fui también alcanzado por Cristo Jesús. 13 Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo alcanzado ya; pero una cosa sí hago: me olvido ciertamente de lo que ha quedado atrás, y me extiendo hacia lo que está adelante; 14 ¡prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús! 15 Así que, todos los que somos perfectos, sintamos esto mismo; y si ustedes sienten otra cosa, también esto se lo revelará Dios. 16 Pero en aquello a que hemos llegado, sigamos una misma regla y sintamos una misma cosa.
17 Hermanos, sean ustedes imitadores de mí,(D) y fíjense en los que así se conducen, según el ejemplo que ustedes tienen de nosotros. 18 Porque por ahí andan muchos, de los cuales muchas veces les dije, y llorando vuelvo a decirlo, que son enemigos de la cruz de Cristo. 19 Ellos sólo piensan en lo terrenal. Su dios es el vientre, su orgullo es su vergüenza, y su fin será la perdición. 20 Pero nuestra ciudadanía está en los cielos, de donde también esperamos al Salvador, al Señor Jesucristo; 21 él transformará el cuerpo de nuestra humillación, para que sea semejante al cuerpo de su gloria, por el poder con el que puede también sujetar a sí mismo todas las cosas.
Philippians 3
English Standard Version Anglicised
Righteousness Through Faith in Christ
3 Finally, my brothers,[a] (A)rejoice in the Lord. (B)To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.
2 Look out for (C)the dogs, look out for (D)the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For (E)we are the circumcision, (F)who worship (G)by the Spirit of God[b] and (H)glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 (I)though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 (J)circumcised on the eighth day, (K)of the people of Israel, (L)of the tribe of Benjamin, (M)a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, (N)a Pharisee; 6 (O)as to zeal, (P)a persecutor of the church; (Q)as to righteousness under the law,[c] blameless. 7 But (R)whatever gain I had, (S)I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of (T)the surpassing worth of (U)knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I (V)have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having (W)a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but (X)that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 (Y)that I may know him and (Z)the power of his resurrection, and (AA)may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may (AB)attain the resurrection from the dead.
Straining Towards the Goal
12 Not that I have already (AC)obtained this or (AD)am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: (AE)forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on towards the goal for (AF)the prize of the upward (AG)call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are (AH)mature think this way, and if in anything (AI)you think otherwise, (AJ)God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only (AK)let us hold true to what we have attained.
17 Brothers, (AL)join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk (AM)according to the example you have in us. 18 For (AN)many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you (AO)even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 (AP)Their end is destruction, (AQ)their god is their belly, and (AR)they glory in their shame, with (AS)minds set on earthly things. 20 But (AT)our citizenship is in heaven, and (AU)from it we (AV)await a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform (AW)our lowly body (AX)to be like his glorious body, (AY)by the power that enables him even (AZ)to subject all things to himself.

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.
