Philippians 3
New American Standard Bible
The Goal of Life
3 Finally, my brothers and sisters, (A)rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you.
2 Beware of the (B)dogs, beware of the (C)evil workers, beware of the [a]false circumcision; 3 for (D)we are the true [b]circumcision, who (E)worship in the Spirit of God and take (F)pride in (G)Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although (H)I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: 5 (I)circumcised the eighth day, of the (J)nation of Israel, of the (K)tribe of Benjamin, a (L)Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, (M)a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, (N)a persecutor of the church; as to the (O)righteousness which is in the Law, found (P)blameless.
7 But (Q)whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss [c]in view of the surpassing value of [d](R)knowing (S)Christ Jesus my Lord, [e]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having (T)a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, (U)the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may (V)know Him and (W)the power of His resurrection and [f](X)the fellowship of His sufferings, being (Y)conformed to His death; 11 if somehow I may (Z)attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have already [g](AA)grasped it all or have already (AB)become perfect, but I press on if I may also (AC)take hold of that [h]for which I (AD)was even taken hold of by (AE)Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: (AF)forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I (AG)press on toward the goal for the prize of the (AH)upward call of God in (AI)Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore, all who are [i](AJ)mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a (AK)different attitude, (AL)God will reveal that to you as well; 16 however, let’s keep [j](AM)living by that same standard to which we have attained.
17 Brothers and sisters, (AN)join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the (AO)pattern you have in us. 18 For (AP)many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I (AQ)weep, that they are the enemies of (AR)the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their [k](AS)appetite, and whose (AT)glory is in their shame, who (AU)have their minds on earthly things. 20 For (AV)our [l]citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly (AW)wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will (AX)transform the body of our lowly condition into (AY)conformity with [m]His (AZ)glorious body, (BA)by the exertion of the power that He has even to (BB)subject all things to Himself.

腓 立 比 書 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
基督比一切都重要
3 我的兄弟们，在主内欢喜吧。我重复这些话对我一点也不麻烦，但是对你们却很有益。 2 要提防那些做恶的人，他们就像狗一样。他们就是那些要割 [a]身体的人。 3 我们才是真正受过割礼的人。我们通过上帝的圣灵敬拜他，我们为在基督耶稣里而感到骄傲。我们不相信外在的东西。 4 （尽管我们有理由相信）如果有人认为他有理由相信外在的东西的话， 5 那么，我就更有理由了。我生下来第八天就受了割礼。我属于以色列，属于便雅悯支派。我是纯血统的犹太人, 我父母也是犹太人。因为律法对我非常重要，我成为法利赛人 [b]。 6 就我的狂热来说我迫害过教会。就律法来说（我总是遵守律法），我无可指责。 7 相反，以前我的所得，现在为了基督耶稣的缘故，我认为它们都是失去。 8 不但如此，我以认识我主基督耶稣为无与伦比的卓越的事情，所以，其它一切事情都是失去。为了他，我失去了一切，视一切为粪土，以便我可以赢得基督，并在他之中被所知。 9 我现在的正义，不是建立在律法的基础上，而是通过对基督的信仰得到的。这义来自上帝，是建立在信仰的基础上的。 10 我想认识基督，并体验他从死里复活时所展示的力量。我也想和他一同受难，在他的死里，变得像他一样， 11 如果我有了这些，那么我自己就会有从死里复活的希望。
努力达到目标
12 这并不是说，我已赢得了奖励，或已变得完美，而是要继续努力，争取得到这奖励。为了这奖励，基督已先赢得了我。 13 兄弟们，我不认为自己达到了这个目标。但是我只专心一件事：忘记过去，尽最大的努力达到前面的目标。 14 我朝目标奔去，为的是要得到这个奖励。这个奖励就是上帝通过基督召唤我去领受的属天的生命。
15 希望我们这些在精神上成熟起来的人都这么想。如果你们对某个观点持不同的看法，上帝会让你们对此清楚明白的。 16 无论如何，我们都应该坚持我们已经获得的真理。
17 兄弟们，你们都应该努力像我一样生活，象那些我们为你们树立了榜样的人学习。 18 就像我以前多次告诫过你们的那样，现在我甚至流着眼泪再次对你们说，有许多人是做为基督十字架的敌人活着的。 19 他们的结局是毁灭。他们的上帝是他们肉体的欲望，他们为他们应该感到羞愧的事情而骄傲，他们只考虑尘世间的事情。 20 但是，我们的家园在天堂里，我们正等待着一位救世主、我们的主耶稣基督从天而降。 21 他凭使万物归顺他的大能，改变我们卑贱的身体，使之变得像他的荣耀的身体一样。

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.
