[KJV] chapters
[1],[2][4]
Philipians 3
1 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.
