Revised Literal Translation

1FinallyG3063, myG1473 brethrenG80, rejoiceG5463 inG1722 the LordG2962. To writeG1125 the same thingsG846 to youG4771, to meG1473 indeedG3303 is notG3756 grievousG3636, butG1161 for youG4771 it is safeG804. 2BewareG991 of dogsG3588G2965, bewareG991 ofG2040 evilG2556 workersG2040, bewareG991 of the concisionG3588G2699. 3ForG1063 weG1473 areG1510 the circumcisionG3588G4061, which worshipG3000 GodG2316 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 haveG3982 noG3756 confidenceG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561.

4ThoughG2539 IG1473 mightG2192 alsoG2532 haveG2192 confidenceG4006 inG1722 the fleshG4561. IfG1487 anyG5100 otherG243 manG5100 thinkethG1380 that he hath whereof he might trustG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561, IG1473 moreG3123: 5CircumcisedG4061 the eighth dayG3637, ofG1537 the stockG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, an HebrewG1445 ofG1537 the HebrewsG1445; as touchingG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330; 6ConcerningG2596 zealG2205, persecutingG1377 the AssemblyG3588G1577; touchingG2596 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 isG1096 inG1722 the lawG3551, blamelessG273.

7ButG235 what thingsG3748 wereG1510 gainG2771 to meG1473, thoseG3778 I countedG2233 lossG2209 forG1223 ChristG3588G5547. 8YeaG235 doubtlessG3304, andG2532 I countG2233 all thingsG3956 but lossG2209 forG1223 the excellencyG3588G5242 of the knowledgeG3588G1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG1473 LordG3588G2962: forG1223 whomG3739 I have suffered the loss ofG2210 all thingsG3588G3956, andG2532 do countG2233 themG3588G3956 but dungG4657, thatG2443 I may winG2770 ChristG5547, 9AndG2532 be foundG2147 inG1722 himG846, notG3361 havingG2192 mine ownG1699 righteousnessG1343, which isG3588 ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 that which isG3588 throughG1223 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, the righteousnessG1343 which isG3588 ofG1537 GodG2316 byG1909 faithG3588G4102: 10ThatG3588 I may knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 the powerG3588G1411 ofG3588G386 hisG846 resurrectionG3588G386, andG2532 the fellowshipG3588G2842 ofG3588G3804 hisG846 sufferingsG3588G3804, being made conformable untoG4833 hisG846 deathG3588G2288; 11IfG1487 by any meansG4459 I might attainG2658 untoG1519 the resurrectionG3588G1815 of the deadG3498.

12NotG3756 as thoughG3754 I hadG2983 alreadyG2235 attainedG2983, eitherG2228 wereG5048 alreadyG2235 perfectG5048: butG1161 I follow afterG1377, ifG1487 thatG2532 I may apprehendG2638 that forG1909 whichG3739 alsoG2532 I am apprehendedG2638 ofG5259 ChristG3588G5547 JesusG2424. 13BrethrenG80, IG1473 countG3049 notG3756 myselfG1683 to have apprehendedG2638: butG1161 this one thingG1520 I do, forgettingG1950 those things which areG3588 behindG3694, andG1161 reaching forthG1901 unto those things which areG3588 beforeG1715, 14I pressG1377 towardG2596 the markG4649 forG1909 the prizeG3588G1017 of theG2821 highG507 callingG2821 of GodG3588G2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

15Let usG5426 thereforeG3767, as many asG3745 be perfectG5046, be thusG3778 mindedG5426: andG2532 ifG1487 in any thingG5100 ye beG5426 otherwiseG2088 mindedG5426, GodG3588G2316 shall revealG601 evenG2532 thisG3778 unto youG4771. 16NeverthelessG4133, wheretoG1519G3739 we have already attainedG5348, let us walkG4748 byG2583 the sameG3588G846 ruleG2583, let us mindG5426 the same thingG3588G846.

17BrethrenG80, beG1096 followers togetherG4831 of meG1473, andG2532 markG4648 them which walkG4043 so asG3779 ye haveG2192 usG1473 forG2531 an ensampleG5179.

18(ForG1063 manyG4183 walkG4043, of whomG3739 I have toldG3004 youG4771 oftenG4178, andG1161 nowG3568 tell youG3004 evenG2532 weepingG2799, that they are the enemiesG2190 of the crossG3588G4716 of ChristG3588G5547: 19WhoseG3739 endG3588G5056 is destructionG684, whoseG3739 GodG3588G2316 is their bellyG3588G2836, andG2532 whose gloryG3588G1391 is inG1722 theirG846 shameG3588G152, whoG3588 mindG5426 earthly thingsG1919.)

20ForG1063 ourG1473 conversationG3588G4175 isG5225 inG1722 heavenG3772; fromG1537 whenceG3739 alsoG2532 we lookG553 for the SaviourG4990, the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 21WhoG3739 shall changeG3345 ourG1473 vileG3588G5014 bodyG3588G4983, thatG1519 itG846 may beG1096 fashioned like untoG4832 hisG846 gloriousG3588G1391 bodyG3588G4983, according toG2596 the workingG3588G1753 wherebyG3588 heG846 is ableG1410 evenG2532 to subdueG5293 all thingsG3956 unto himselfG1438.
