Philippians 3
English Standard Version
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.

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.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Tunay na Katuwiran
3 Kahuli-hulihan, mga kapatid ko, magalak kayo sa Panginoon. Hindi kalabisan para sa akin ang muli kong isulat sa inyo ang dati ko nang naisulat, sa halip, ito'y upang kayo'y ingatan.
2 Mag-ingat kayo sa mga aso, sa mga gumagawa ng masasama, at sa mga sumusugat sa kanilang katawan. 3 Sapagkat tayo ang mga tunay na tuli, na naglilingkod sa tulong ng Espiritu ng Diyos at ang ating pagmamalaki ay nakay Cristo Jesus, at hindi sa anumang ginagawa sa ating katawan. 4 Bagaman maaari kong gawin iyon. Kung sa palagay ng iba may dahilan silang magmalaki, lalo na ako: 5 tinuli ako (A) nang ikawalong araw, akong mula sa lahi ng Israel, mula sa lipi ni Benjamin, isang tunay na Hebreo, at tungkol sa kautusan, ako'y isang Fariseo. 6 Kung ang pag-uusapan (B) ay sigasig, ako ay naging tagausig ng iglesya; at tungkol naman sa katuwirang ayon sa kautusan, ako ay walang kapintasan. 7 Subalit ang mga bagay na maaari ko sanang pakinabangan ay itinuring kong kalugihan dahil kay Cristo. 8 Sa katunayan, ang lahat ng bagay ay itinuring kong kalugihan dahil sa hindi matatawarang halaga ng pagkakilala kay Cristo Jesus na aking Panginoon. Dahil sa kanya'y pinawalang-halaga ko ang lahat ng bagay, at itinuring kong basura, upang makamtan ko si Cristo, 9 at ako'y matagpuan na nasa kanya. Wala akong sariling katuwiran batay sa kautusan, kundi ang katuwiran sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Cristo, ang katuwirang buhat sa Diyos na nakabatay sa pananampalataya. 10 Ang naisin ko'y makilala siya at ang kapangyarihan ng kanyang muling pagkabuhay at makibahagi sa kanyang mga pagdurusa, at matulad ako sa kanya maging sa kanyang kamatayan, 11 upang hangga't maaari ay makamtan ko ang muling pagkabuhay mula sa kamatayan.
Pagpapatuloy sa Mithiin
12 Hindi sa ito'y nakamit ko na, o ako'y nakarating na sa hangganan; sa halip ay nagpapatuloy ako upang makamit ko ang bagay na ito, yamang ako ay nakamit na ni Cristo Jesus. 13 Mga kapatid, hindi ko itinuturing na iyon ay nakamit ko na; ngunit isang bagay ang ginagawa ko: nililimot ko ang mga bagay na nakaraan, at sinisikap kong abutin ang mga bagay na hinaharap. 14 Patuloy akong tumatakbo patungo sa hangganan para sa gantimpala ng makalangit[a] na pagtawag ng Diyos bunga ng pakikipag-isa kay Cristo Jesus. 15 Kaya't tayong mga nasa hustong gulang ay dapat magkaroon ng gayunding pananaw. At kung hindi ganito ang inyong pananaw, ito man ay ipahahayag sa inyo ng Diyos. 16 Gayunman, magpatuloy tayong mamuhay ayon sa pamantayang naabot na natin.
17 Mga (C) kapatid, sama-sama ninyong tularan ang aking halimbawa, at bigyan ninyo ng pansin ang mga lumalakad nang ayon sa huwarang ibinigay namin sa inyo. 18 Sapagkat maraming namumuhay bilang mga kaaway ng krus ni Cristo gaya ng madalas kong sabihin sa inyo noon, at ngayo'y muli kong sinasabi na may kasama pang luha. 19 Ang wakas nila ay kapahamakan; ang diyos nila ay ang sarili nilang tiyan; ang ipinagmamalaki nila ay mga bagay na dapat sana nilang ikahiya, at ang tanging iniisip nila ay ang mga bagay na makalupa. 20 Ngunit tayo'y mamamayan ng langit at naghihintay tayo ng Tagapagligtas mula roon, ang Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 21 Babaguhin niya ang kalagayan ng ating mga hamak na katawan upang maging katulad ng kanyang maluwalhating katawan, sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihang kumikilos sa kanya upang maipailalim niya sa kanyang sarili ang lahat ng bagay.
