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.

O valor inestimável de conhecer a Cristo
3 Por fim, meus irmãos, alegrem-se no Senhor. Nunca me canso de dizer-lhes estas coisas, e o faço para protegê-los.
2 Cuidado com os cães, aqueles que praticam o mal, os mutiladores que exigem a circuncisão. 3 Pois nós, que adoramos por meio do Espírito de Deus,[a] somos os verdadeiros circuncidados. Alegramo-nos no que Cristo Jesus fez por nós. Não colocamos nenhuma confiança nos esforços humanos, 4 ainda que, se outros pensam ter motivos para confiar nos próprios esforços, eu teria ainda mais!
5 Fui circuncidado com oito dias de vida. Sou israelita de nascimento, da tribo de Benjamim, um verdadeiro hebreu. Era membro dos fariseus, extremamente obediente à lei judaica. 6 Era tão zeloso que persegui a igreja. E, quanto à justiça, cumpria a lei com todo rigor.
7 Pensava que essas coisas eram valiosas, mas agora as considero insignificantes por causa de Cristo. 8 Sim, todas as outras coisas são insignificantes comparadas ao ganho inestimável de conhecer a Cristo Jesus, meu Senhor. Por causa dele, deixei de lado todas as coisas e as considero menos que lixo, a fim de poder ganhar a Cristo 9 e nele ser encontrado. Não conto mais com minha própria justiça, que vem da obediência à lei, mas sim com a justiça que vem pela fé em Cristo, pois é com base na fé que Deus nos declara justos. 10 Quero conhecer a Cristo e experimentar o grande poder que o ressuscitou. Quero sofrer com ele, participando de sua morte, 11 para, de alguma forma, alcançar a ressurreição dos mortos!
Prosseguindo para o alvo
12 Não estou dizendo que já obtive tudo isso, que já alcancei a perfeição. Mas prossigo a fim de conquistar essa perfeição para a qual Cristo Jesus me conquistou. 13 Não, irmãos, não a alcancei,[b] mas concentro todos os meus esforços nisto: esquecendo-me do passado e olhando para o que está adiante, 14 prossigo para o final da corrida, a fim de receber o prêmio celestial para o qual Deus nos chama em Cristo Jesus.
15 Todos nós que alcançamos a maturidade devemos concordar quanto a essas coisas. Se discordam em algum ponto, confio que Deus o esclarecerá para vocês. 16 Contudo, devemos prosseguir de maneira coerente com o que já alcançamos.
17 Irmãos, sejam meus imitadores e aprendam com aqueles que seguem nosso exemplo. 18 Pois, como lhes disse muitas vezes, e o digo novamente com lágrimas nos olhos, há muitos cuja conduta mostra que são, na verdade, inimigos da cruz de Cristo. 19 Estão rumando para a destruição. O deus deles é seu próprio apetite. Vangloriam-se de coisas vergonhosas e pensam apenas na vida terrena. 20 Nossa cidadania, no entanto, vem do céu, e de lá aguardamos ansiosamente a volta do Salvador, o Senhor Jesus Cristo. 21 Ele tomará nosso frágil corpo mortal e o transformará num corpo glorioso como o dele, usando o mesmo poder com o qual submeterá todas as coisas a seu domínio.
Philippians 3
New International Version
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)
