² Beware blepō of the ho dogs kyōn, beware blepō of the ho evil kakos workers ergatēs, beware blepō of those ho who practice mutilation katatomē. ³ For gar we hēmeis are eimi the ho true circumcision peritomē, who ho worship latreuō by the Spirit pneuma of God theos and kai glory kauchaomai in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous and kai have peithō no ou confidence peithō in en the flesh sarx— ⁴ even kai though kaiper I egō have echō reason pepoithēsis for confidence in en the flesh sarx. If ei anyone tis else allos thinks dokeō he has reason peithō for confidence in en the flesh sarx, I egō have more mallon: ⁵ circumcised peritomē on the eighth oktaēmeros day , a member of ek the nation genos of Israel Israēl, of the tribe phylē of Benjamin Beniamin, a Hebrew Hebraios born of ek Hebrews Hebraios. In regard kata to the law nomos, I was a Pharisee Pharisaios; ⁶ as kata for zeal zēlos, a persecutor diōkō of the ho church ekklēsia; as kata for the righteousness dikaiosynē · ho set forth ginomai in en the law nomos, I was blameless amemptos. ⁷ But alla whatever hostis things were eimi gain kerdos to me egō, these houtos I have come to regard hēgeomai as loss zēmia because dia of · ho Christ Christos. ⁸ More than that alla, I regard hēgeomai all pas things as eimi loss zēmia because dia of the ho surpassing hyperechō worth of ho knowing gnōsis Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous · ho my egō Lord kyrios, for dia whom hos I have suffered the loss of · ho all pas things and kai regard hēgeomai them as rubbish skybalon, in order hina to gain kerdainō Christ Christos ⁹ and kai be found heuriskō in en him autos, not mē having echō a righteousness dikaiosynē of my emos own that ho comes from ek the Law nomos, but alla that ho which comes through dia faith pistis in Christ Christos, the ho righteousness dikaiosynē from ek God theos that is based on epi · ho faith pistis— ¹⁰ that ho I may know ginōskō him autos and kai the ho power dynamis of ho his autos resurrection anastasis and kai the ho fellowship koinōnia of ho his autos sufferings pathēma, becoming symmorphizō like him in ho his autos death thanatos, ¹¹ if ei somehow pōs I may attain katantaō the ho resurrection exanastasis · ho from ek the dead nekros.

¹² Not ou that hoti I have already ēdē obtained lambanō all this or ē have already ēdē reached teleioō my goal , but de I press diōkō on in order to ei · kai make it my own katalambanō because epi hos · kai Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous has made me his own katalambanō. ¹³ Brothers adelphos, I egō do logizomai not ou consider logizomai to have made katalambanō it my emautou own ; but de this one heis thing I do: forgetting epilanthanomai what ho lies behind opisō and de reaching out to epekteinomai what ho lies ahead emprosthen, ¹⁴ I press on diōkō toward kata the goal skopos for eis the ho prize brabeion of the ho upward anō call klēsis of ho God theos in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous.

⁹ When a large polys crowd ochlos of ek the ho Jews Ioudaios learned ginōskō that hoti Jesus was eimi there ekei, · kai they came erchomai, not ou only monon on account dia of · ho Jesus Iēsous but alla also kai that hina they might see · ho Lazarus Lazaros whom hos he had raised egeirō from ek the dead nekros. ¹⁰ So de the ho chief priests archiereus made plans bouleuō to hina put apokteinō Lazarus Lazaros to death apokteinō as kai well , · ho ¹¹ because hoti on account of dia him autos many polys of the ho Jews Ioudaios were going hypagō over to eis Jesus Iēsous and kai putting pisteuō their faith in him. · ho

¹² The ho next epaurion day the ho large polys crowd ochlos that ho had come erchomai to eis the ho festival heortē, on hearing akouō that hoti Jesus Iēsous was coming erchomai · ho to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma, ¹³ took lambanō · ho branches baion of ho palm phoinix trees and kai went exerchomai out to eis meet hypantēsis him autos. · kai They began to cry kraugazō out , “ Hosanna hōsanna! Blessed eulogeō in en the name onoma of the Lord kyrios is the ho coming erchomai one , even kai the ho king basileus of ho Israel Israēl!” ¹⁴ And de Jesus Iēsous found heuriskō · ho a young onarion donkey and sat kathizō on epi it autos; as kathōs it is eimi written graphō, ¹⁵ “ Do not mē be afraid phobeomai, daughter thugatēr of Zion Siōn; behold idou, · ho your sy king basileus is coming erchomai, seated kathēmai on epi a donkey’ s onos colt pōlos!” ¹⁶ His autos disciples mathētēs did ginōskō not ou understand ginōskō these houtos things · ho · ho at first prōton, but alla when hote Jesus Iēsous was glorified doxazō, then tote they remembered mimnēskomai that hoti these houtos things had been eimi written graphō about epi him autos, and kai that they had done poieō these houtos things to him autos. ¹⁷ The ho crowd ochlos that ho had been eimi with meta him autos when hote he called phōneō · ho Lazarus Lazaros out ek of the ho tomb mnēmeion and kai raised egeirō him autos from ek the dead nekros continued to bear witness martyreō. ¹⁸ For dia this houtos reason the ho crowd ochlos went to meet hypantaō him autos, that is, because hoti they heard akouō he autos had performed poieō this houtos · ho sign sēmeion. ¹⁹ The ho Pharisees Pharisaios therefore oun said legō to pros one heautou another , “ You see theōreō, you are accomplishing ōpheleō nothing oudeis.
