Philipper 3
Schlachter 2000
Das Vorbild des Paulus: Christus ist alles
3 Im Übrigen, meine Brüder, freut euch in dem Herrn! Euch [immer wieder] dasselbe zu schreiben, ist mir nicht lästig; euch aber macht es gewiss.
2 Habt acht auf die Hunde, habt acht auf die bösen Arbeiter, habt acht auf die Zerschneidung![a]
3 Denn wir sind die Beschneidung[b], die wir Gott im Geist dienen und uns in Christus Jesus rühmen und nicht auf Fleisch vertrauen,
4 obwohl auch ich mein Vertrauen auf Fleisch setzen könnte. Wenn ein anderer meint, er könne auf Fleisch vertrauen, ich viel mehr:
5 beschnitten am achten Tag, aus dem Geschlecht Israel, vom Stamm Benjamin, ein Hebräer von Hebräern, im Hinblick auf das Gesetz ein Pharisäer,
6 im Hinblick auf den Eifer ein Verfolger der Gemeinde, im Hinblick auf die Gerechtigkeit im Gesetz untadelig gewesen.
7 Aber was mir Gewinn war, das habe ich um des Christus willen für Schaden geachtet;
8 ja, wahrlich, ich achte alles für Schaden gegenüber der alles übertreffenden Erkenntnis Christi Jesu, meines Herrn, um dessentwillen ich alles eingebüßt habe; und ich achte es für Dreck, damit ich Christus gewinne
9 und in ihm erfunden werde, indem ich nicht meine eigene Gerechtigkeit habe, die aus dem Gesetz kommt, sondern die durch den Glauben an Christus, die Gerechtigkeit aus Gott aufgrund des Glaubens,
10 um Ihn zu erkennen und die Kraft seiner Auferstehung und die Gemeinschaft seiner Leiden, indem ich seinem Tod gleichförmig[c] werde,
11 damit ich zur Auferstehung aus den Toten gelange.
12 Nicht dass ich es schon erlangt hätte oder schon vollendet wäre; ich jage aber danach, dass ich das auch ergreife, wofür ich von Christus Jesus ergriffen worden bin.
13 Brüder, ich halte mich selbst nicht dafür, dass ich es ergriffen habe; eines aber [tue ich]: Ich vergesse, was dahinten ist, und strecke mich aus nach dem, was vor mir liegt,
14 und jage auf das Ziel zu, den Kampfpreis der himmlischen Berufung Gottes in Christus Jesus.
15 Lasst uns alle, die wir gereift sind, so gesinnt sein; und wenn ihr über etwas anders denkt, so wird euch Gott auch das offenbaren.
16 Doch wozu wir auch gelangt sein mögen, lasst uns nach derselben Richtschnur wandeln und dasselbe erstreben!
Warnung vor Feinden des Kreuzes des Christus
17 Werdet meine Nachahmer, ihr Brüder, und seht auf diejenigen, die so wandeln, wie ihr uns zum Vorbild habt.
18 Denn viele wandeln, wie ich euch oft gesagt habe und jetzt auch weinend sage, als Feinde des Kreuzes des Christus;
19 ihr Ende ist das Verderben, ihr Gott ist der Bauch, sie rühmen sich ihrer Schande, sie sind irdisch gesinnt[d].
20 Unser Bürgerrecht[e] aber ist im Himmel, von woher wir auch den Herrn Jesus Christus erwarten als den Retter,
21 der unseren Leib der Niedrigkeit umgestalten wird, sodass er gleichförmig wird seinem Leib der Herrlichkeit, vermöge der Kraft, durch die er sich selbst auch alles unterwerfen kann.

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.
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.
