Ang Tunay na Pagiging Matuwid
3 Sa wakas, mga kapatid, magalak kayo sa Panginoon. Hindi kaabalahan para sa akin na ulitin ang naisulat ko na, dahil ito naman ay para sa inyong kapakanan.
2 Mag-ingat kayo sa mga taong asal-aso, sa mga taong mahilig sa paggawa ng masama. Sila'y mga taong naghihiwa ng maselang bahagi ng kanilang katawan. 3 Tayo at hindi sila, ang tumanggap ng tunay na pagtutuli, tayong mga sumasamba sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Espiritu. Ang ipinagmamalaki natin ay ang ating buhay kay Cristo Jesus at hindi tayo umaasa sa mga pisikal na bagay.
4 Ang totoo, ako'y may sapat na dahilan upang panghawakan ang mga pisikal na bagay. Kung iniisip ninuman na siya'y may katuwirang umasa sa ganitong mga bagay, lalo na ako. 5 Ako'y(A) tinuli sa ikawalong araw mula nang ako'y isilang. Ako'y isang tunay na Israelita, buhat sa angkan ni Benjamin at totoong Hebreo. Kung pagsunod naman sa Kautusan ang pag-uusapan, ako'y isang Pariseo. 6 Kung(B) sa pagiging masugid ko sa Kautusan, inusig ko ang iglesya. Kung sa pagiging matuwid naman ayon sa Kautusan, walang maisusumbat sa akin.
7 Ngunit dahil kay Cristo, ang mga bagay na pinapahalagahan ko noon ay itinuring kong walang kabuluhan ngayon. 8 Oo, itinuturing kong walang kabuluhan ang lahat ng bagay bilang kapalit ng lalong mahalaga, ang pagkakilala kay Cristo Jesus na aking Panginoon. Ang lahat ng bagay ay ipinalagay kong walang kabuluhan at itinuring kong basura, makamtan ko lamang si Cristo 9 at lubos na makipag-isa sa kanya. Ang aking pagiging matuwid ay hindi sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa Kautusan, kundi sa pananalig kay Cristo. Ang pagiging matuwid ko ngayo'y buhat sa Diyos, sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya. 10 Ang tanging hangarin ko ngayon ay lubusang makilala si Cristo, maranasan ang kapangyarihan ng kanyang muling pagkabuhay, makibahagi sa kanyang mga paghihirap, at maging katulad niya sa kanyang kamatayan, 11 umaasang ako man ay muling bubuhayin mula sa kamatayan.
Magpatuloy Tungo sa Hangganan
12 Hindi sa nakamtan ko na ang mga bagay na ito. Hindi rin sa ako'y ganap na; ngunit sinisikap kong makamtan ang gantimpala sapagkat ito ang dahilan kung bakit ako'y tinawag ni Cristo Jesus. 13 Mga kapatid, hindi ko ipinapalagay na nakamit ko na ito. Ngunit isang bagay ang ginagawa ko: habang nililimot ko ang nakaraan at sinisikap na marating ang layuning nais kong makamtan, 14 nagpupunyagi ako patungo sa hangganan upang makamtan ang gantimpala ng pagkatawag sa akin ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus, ang buhay na nasa langit.
15 Ganyan ang dapat maging kaisipan nating mga matatag na sa pananampalataya. Kung hindi ganito ang inyong pag-iisip, ipapaunawa iyan sa inyo ng Diyos. 16 Ang mahalaga ay panghawakan natin ang ating nakamtan na.
17 Mga(C) kapatid, magkaisa kayong tumulad sa halimbawang ipinakita ko sa inyo. Pag-ukulan din ninyo ng pansin ang lahat ng sumusunod sa aming halimbawa. 18 Sapagkat tulad ng madalas kong sinasabi sa inyo noon at ngayo'y luhaang inuulit ko, marami ang namumuhay bilang mga kaaway ng krus ni Cristo. 19 Kapahamakan ang kahihinatnan nila sapagkat ang dinidiyos nila ay ang hilig ng kanilang katawan. Ikinararangal nila ang mga bagay na dapat sana nilang ikahiya, at wala silang iniisip kundi ang mga bagay na may kinalaman sa mundong ito. 20 Subalit sa kabilang dako, tayo ay mga mamamayan ng langit. Mula roo'y hinihintay nating may pananabik ang Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ang ating Tagapagligtas. 21 Sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihang ginamit niya sa pagpapasuko sa lahat ng bagay, ang ating katawang may kahinaan ay babaguhin niya upang maging katulad ng kanyang katawang maluwalhati.

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)

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.

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 Toward 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 toward 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 Savior, 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.
