¹Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

KJVFinally^G3063, my^G3450 brethren^G80, rejoice^G5463^(G5720) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962. To write^G1125^(G5721) the same things^G846 to you^G5213, to me^G1698 indeed^G3303 is not^G3756 grievous^G3636, but^G1161 for you^G5213 it is safe^G804.

² Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

KJVBeware^G991^(G5720) of dogs^G2965, beware^G991^(G5720) of evil^G2556 workers^G2040, beware^G991^(G5720) of the concision^G2699.

³ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

KJVFor^G1063 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) the circumcision^G4061, which^G3588 worship^G3000^(G5723) God^G2316 in the spirit^G4151, and^G2532 rejoice^G2744^(G5740) in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 have^G3982 no^G3756 confidence^G3982^(G5756) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561.

⁴ though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

KJVThough^G2539 I^G1473 might^G2192 also^G2532 have^G2192^(G5723) confidence^G4006 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561. If any^G1536 other man^G243 thinketh^G1380^(G5719) that he hath whereof he might trust^G3982^(G5755) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, I^G1473 more^G3123:

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

KJVCircumcised^G4061 the eighth^G3637 day, of^G1537 the stock^G1085 of Israel^G2474, of the tribe^G5443 of Benjamin^G958, an Hebrew^G1445 of^G1537 the Hebrews^G1445; as touching^G2596 the law^G3551, a Pharisee^G5330;

⁶ concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

KJVConcerning^G2596 zeal^G2205, persecuting^G1377^(G5723) the church^G1577; touching^G2596 the righteousness^G1343 which^G3588 is in^G1722 the law^G3551,^G1096^(G5637) blameless^G273.

⁷ However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

KJVBut^G235 what things^G3748 were^G2258^(G5713) gain^G2771 to me^G3427, those^G5023 I counted^G2233^(G5766) loss^G2209 for^G1223 Christ^G5547.

⁸ Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

KJVYea^G235 doubtless^G3304, and^G2532 I count^G2233^(G5736) all things^G3956 but loss^G2209 for^G1511^(G5750)^G1223 the excellency^G5242^(G5723) of the knowledge^G1108 of Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 my^G3450 Lord^G2962: for^G1223 whom^G3739 I have suffered the loss^G2210^(G5681) of all things^G3956, and^G2532 do count^G2233^(G5736) them^G1511^(G5750) but dung^G4657, that^G2443 I may win^G2770^(G5661) Christ^G5547,

⁹ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

KJVAnd^G2532 be found^G2147^(G5686) in^G1722 him^G846, not^G3361 having^G2192^(G5723) mine own^G1699 righteousness^G1343, which^G3588 is of^G1537 the law^G3551, but^G235 that which^G3588 is through^G1223 the faith^G4102 of Christ^G5547, the righteousness^G1343 which^G3588 is of^G1537 God^G2316 by^G1909 faith^G4102:

¹⁰ that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

KJVThat I may know^G1097^(G5629) him^G846, and^G2532 the power^G1411 of his^G846 resurrection^G386, and^G2532 the fellowship^G2842 of his^G846 sufferings^G3804, being made conformable^G4833^(G5746) unto his^G846 death^G2288;

¹¹ if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

KJVIf by any means^G1513 I might attain^G2658^(G5661) unto^G1519 the resurrection^G1815 of the dead^G3498.

¹² Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

KJVNot^G3756 as though^G3754 I had already^G2235 attained^G2983^(G5627), either^G2228 were already^G2235 perfect^G5048^(G5769): but^G1161 I follow after^G1377^(G5719), if^G1499 that I may apprehend^G2638^(G5632) that for^G1909 which^G3739 also^G2532 I am apprehended^G2638^(G5681) of^G5259 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

¹³ Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,

KJVBrethren^G80, I^G1473 count^G3049^(G5736) not^G3756 myself^G1683 to have apprehended^G2638^(G5760): but^G1161 this one thing^G1520 I do, forgetting^G1950^(G5740) those things^G3303 which are behind^G3694, and^G1161 reaching forth unto^G1901^(G5740) those things which are before^G1715,

¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

KJVI press^G1377^(G5719) toward^G2596 the mark^G4649 for^G1909 the prize^G1017 of the high^G507 calling^G2821 of God^G2316 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

KJVLet^G5426 us therefore^G3767, as many as^G3745 be perfect^G5046, be^G5426 thus^G5124 minded^G5426^(G5725): and^G2532 if in any thing^G1536 ye be^G5426 otherwise^G2088 minded^G5426^(G5719), God^G2316 shall reveal^G601^(G5692) even^G2532 this^G5124 unto you^G5213.

¹⁶ Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.

KJVNevertheless^G4133, whereto^G1519^G3739 we have already attained^G5348^(G5656), let us walk^G4748^(G5721) by the same^G846 rule^G2583, let us mind^G5426^(G5721) the same thing^G846.

¹⁷ Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

KJVBrethren^G80, be^G1096^(G5737) followers together^G4831 of me^G3450, and^G2532 mark^G4648^(G5720) them which walk^G4043^(G5723) so^G3779 as^G2531 ye have^G2192^(G5719) us^G2248 for an ensample^G5179.

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

KJV(For^G1063 many^G4183 walk^G4043^(G5719), of whom^G3739 I have told^G3004^(G5707) you^G5213 often^G4178, and^G1161 now^G3568 tell^G3004^(G5719) you even^G2532 weeping^G2799^(G5723), that they are the enemies^G2190 of the cross^G4716 of Christ^G5547:

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

KJVWhose^G3739 end^G5056 is destruction^G684, whose^G3739 God^G2316 is their belly^G2836, and^G2532 whose glory^G1391 is in^G1722 their^G846 shame^G152, who^G3588 mind^G5426^(G5723) earthly things^G1919.)

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVFor^G1063 our^G2257 conversation^G4175 is^G5225^(G5719) in^G1722 heaven^G3772; from^G1537 whence^G3739 also^G2532 we look for^G553^(G5736) the Saviour^G4990, the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

²¹ who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

KJVWho^G3739 shall change^G3345^(G5692) our^G2257 vile^G5014 body^G4983, that^G1519 it^G846 may be^G1096^(G5635) fashioned like unto^G4832 his^G846 glorious^G1391 body^G4983, according to^G2596 the working^G1753 whereby he^G846 is able^G1410^(G5738) even^G2532 to subdue^G5293^(G5658) all things^G3956 unto himself^G1438.

¹If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

KJVIf there be therefore^G3767 any^G1536 consolation^G3874 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, if any^G1536 comfort^G3890 of love^G26, if any^G1536 fellowship^G2842 of the Spirit^G4151, if any^G1536 bowels^G4698 and^G2532 mercies^G3628,

² make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

KJVFulfil ye^G4137^(G5657) my^G3450 joy^G5479, that^G2443 ye be likeminded^G846^G5426^(G5725), having^G2192^(G5723) the same^G846 love^G26, being of one accord^G4861, of one^G1520 mind^G5426^(G5723).

³ doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

KJVLet nothing^G3367 be done through^G2596 strife^G2052 or^G2228 vainglory^G2754; but^G235 in lowliness of mind^G5012 let^G2233 each^G240 esteem^G2233^(G5740) other^G240 better than^G5242^(G5723) themselves^G1438.

⁴ each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

KJVLook^G4648^(G5720) not^G3361 every man^G1538 on his own things^G1438, but^G235 every man^G1538 also^G2532 on the things^G3588 of others^G2087.

⁵ Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

KJV^G1063 Let^G5426 this^G5124 mind be^G5426^(G5744) in^G1722 you^G5213, which^G3739 was also^G2532 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424:

⁶ who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

KJVWho^G3739, being^G5225^(G5723) in^G1722 the form^G3444 of God^G2316, thought it^G2233^(G5662) not^G3756 robbery^G725 to be^G1511^(G5750) equal^G2470 with God^G2316:

⁷ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

KJVBut^G235 made^G2758 himself^G1438 of no reputation^G2758^(G5656), and took upon him^G2983^(G5631) the form^G3444 of a servant^G1401, and was made^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 the likeness^G3667 of men^G444:

⁸ And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

KJVAnd^G2532 being found^G2147^(G5685) in fashion^G4976 as^G5613 a man^G444, he humbled^G5013^(G5656) himself^G1438, and became^G1096^(G5637) obedient^G5255 unto^G3360 death^G2288, even^G1161 the death^G2288 of the cross^G4716.

⁹ Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

KJVWherefore^G1352 God^G2316 also^G2532 hath highly exalted^G5251^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 given^G5483^(G5662) him^G846 a name^G3686 which^G3588 is above^G5228 every^G3956 name^G3686:

¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

KJVThat^G2443 at^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 every^G3956 knee^G1119 should bow^G2578^(G5661), of things in heaven^G2032, and^G2532 things in earth^G1919, and^G2532 things under the earth^G2709;

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

KJVAnd^G2532 that every^G3956 tongue^G1100 should confess^G1843^(G5672) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 is Lord^G2962, to^G1519 the glory^G1391 of God^G2316 the Father^G3962.

¹² So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

KJVWherefore^G5620, my^G3450 beloved^G27, as^G2531 ye have^G5219 always^G3842 obeyed^G5219^(G5656), not^G3361 as^G5613 in^G1722 my^G3450 presence^G3952 only^G3440, but^G235 now^G3568 much^G4183 more^G3123 in^G1722 my^G3450 absence^G666, work out^G2716^(G5737) your own^G1438 salvation^G4991 with^G3326 fear^G5401 and^G2532 trembling^G5156.

¹³ For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

KJVFor^G1063 it is^G2076^(G5748) God^G2316 which^G3588 worketh^G1754^(G5723) in^G1722 you^G5213 both^G2532 to will^G2309^(G5721) and^G2532 to do^G1754^(G5721) of^G5228 his good pleasure^G2107.

¹⁴ Do all things without complaining and arguing,

KJVDo^G4160^(G5720) all things^G3956 without^G5565 murmurings^G1112 and^G2532 disputings^G1261:

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

KJVThat^G2443 ye may be^G1096^(G5638) blameless^G273 and^G2532 harmless^G185, the sons^G5043 of God^G2316, without rebuke^G298, in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of a crooked^G4646 and^G2532 perverse^G1294^(G5772) nation^G1074, among^G1722 whom^G3739 ye shine^G5316^(G5743) as^G5613 lights^G5458 in^G1722 the world^G2889;

¹⁶ holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

KJVHolding forth^G1907^(G5723) the word^G3056 of life^G2222; that^G1519 I^G1698 may rejoice^G2745 in^G1519 the day^G2250 of Christ^G5547, that^G3754 I have^G5143 not^G3756 run^G5143^(G5627) in^G1519 vain^G2756, neither^G3761 laboured^G2872^(G5656) in^G1519 vain^G2756.

¹⁷ Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

KJVYea^G235, and if^G1499 I be offered^G4689^(G5743) upon^G1909 the sacrifice^G2378 and^G2532 service^G3009 of your^G5216 faith^G4102, I joy^G5463^(G5719), and^G2532 rejoice with^G4796^(G5719) you^G5213 all^G3956.

¹⁸ In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

KJVFor^G1161 the same cause^G846 also^G2532 do^G5463 ye^G5210 joy^G5463^(G5720), and^G2532 rejoice with^G4796^(G5720) me^G3427.

¹⁹ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

KJVBut^G1161 I trust^G1679^(G5719) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 to send^G3992^(G5658) Timotheus^G5095 shortly^G5030 unto you^G5213, that^G2443 I also^G2504 may be of good comfort^G2174^(G5725), when I know^G1097^(G5631) your^G5216 state^G4012.

²⁰ For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

KJVFor^G1063 I have^G2192^(G5719) no man^G3762 likeminded^G2473, who^G3748 will naturally^G1104 care^G3309^(G5692) for your^G5216 state^G4012.

²¹ For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 all^G3956 seek^G2212^(G5719) their own^G1438, not^G3756 the things which are^G3588 Jesus^G2424 Christ's^G5547.

²² But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

KJVBut^G1161 ye know^G1097^(G5719) the proof^G1382 of him^G846, that^G3754, as^G5613 a son^G5043 with the father^G3962, he hath served^G1398^(G5656) with^G4862 me^G1698 in^G1519 the gospel^G2098.

²³ Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

KJVHim^G3303^G5126 therefore^G3767 I hope^G1679^(G5719) to send^G3992^(G5658) presently^G1824, so soon as^G5613 I^G302 shall see^G542^(G5632) how^G4012 it will go with me^G1691.

²⁴ But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

KJVBut^G1161 I trust^G3982^(G5754) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 that^G3754 I^G2064 also^G2532 myself^G846 shall come^G2064^(G5695) shortly^G5030.

²⁵ But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

KJVYet^G1161 I supposed^G2233^(G5662) it necessary^G316 to send^G3992^(G5658) to^G4314 you^G5209 Epaphroditus^G1891, my^G3450 brother^G80, and^G2532 companion in labour^G4904, and^G2532 fellowsoldier^G4961, but^G1161 your^G5216 messenger^G652, and^G2532 he that ministered^G3011 to my^G3450 wants^G5532.

²⁶ since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

KJVFor^G1894 he^G2258^(G5713) longed after^G1971^(G5723) you^G5209 all^G3956, and^G2532 was full of heaviness^G85^(G5723), because^G1360 that ye had heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 he had been sick^G770^(G5656).

²⁷ For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

KJVFor^G1063 indeed^G2532 he was sick^G770^(G5656) nigh^G3897 unto death^G2288: but^G235 God^G2316 had mercy^G1653^(G5656) on him^G846; and^G1161 not^G3756 on him^G846 only^G3440, but^G235 on me^G1691 also^G2532, lest^G3363 I should have^G2192^(G5632) sorrow^G3077 upon^G1909 sorrow^G3077.

²⁸ I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

KJVI sent^G3992^(G5656) him^G846 therefore^G3767 the more carefully^G4708, that^G2443, when ye see^G1492^(G5631) him^G846 again^G3825, ye may rejoice^G5463^(G5647), and that I^G2504 may be^G5600^(G5753) the less sorrowful^G253.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

KJVReceive^G4327^(G5737) him^G846 therefore^G3767 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 with^G3326 all^G3956 gladness^G5479; and^G2532 hold^G2192^(G5720) such^G5108 in reputation^G1784:

³⁰ because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

KJVBecause^G3754 for^G1223 the work^G2041 of Christ^G5547 he was nigh^G1448^(G5656) unto^G3360 death^G2288, not regarding^G3851^(G5666) his life^G5590, to^G2443 supply^G378^(G5661) your^G5216 lack^G5303 of service^G3009 toward^G4314 me^G3165.
