Lettera ai Filippesi - Philippians 3

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Το λοιπον, αδελφοι μου, χαιρετε εν Κυριω. το να σας γραφω τα αυτα εις εμε μεν δεν ειναι οχληρον, εις εσας δε ασφαλες.	1 As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary.
2 Προσεχετε τους κυνας, προσεχετε τους κακους εργατας, προσεχετε την κατατομην?	2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 διοτι ημεις ειμεθα η περιτομη, οι λατρευοντες τον Θεον εν Πνευματι και καυχωμενοι εις τον Χριστον Ιησουν και μη εχοντες την πεποιθησιν εν τη σαρκι,	3 For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
4 αν και εγω εχω πεποιθησιν και εν τη σαρκι. Εαν τις αλλος νομιζη οτι εχει πεποιθησιν εν τη σαρκι, εγω περισσοτερον?	4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
5 περιτετμημενος την ογδοην ημεραν, εκ γενους Ισραηλ, εκ φυλης Βενιαμιν, Εβραιος εξ Εβραιων, κατα νομον Φαρισαιος,	5 Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee:
6 κατα ζηλον διωκτης της εκκλησιας, κατα την δικαιοσυνην την δια του νομου διατελεσας αμεμπτος.	6 According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
7 Πλην εκεινα, τα οποια ησαν εις εμε κερδη, ταυτα ενομισα ζημιαν δια τον Χριστον?	7 But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
8 μαλιστα δε και νομιζω τα παντα οτι ειναι ζημια δια το εξοχον της γνωσεως του Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου μου, δια τον οποιον εζημιωθην τα παντα, και λογιζομαι οτι ειναι σκυβαλα δια να κερδησω τον Χριστον	8 Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ:
9 και να ευρεθω εν αυτω μη εχων ιδικην μου δικαιοσυνην την εκ του νομου, αλλα την δια πιστεως του Χριστου, την δικαιοσυνην την εκ Θεου δια της πιστεως,	9 And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:
10 δια να γνωρισω αυτον και την δυναμιν της αναστασεως αυτου και την κοινωνιαν των παθηματων αυτου, συμμορφουμενος με τον θανατον αυτου,	10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
11 ισως καταντησω εις την εξαναστασιν των νεκρων.	11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
12 Ουχι οτι ελαβον ηδη το βραβειον η εγεινα ηδη τελειος, τρεχω ομως κατοπιν, ισως λαβω αυτο, δια το οποιον και εληφθην υπο του Ιησου Χριστου.	12 Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 Αδελφοι, εγω δεν στοχαζομαι εμαυτον οτι ελαβον αυτο? αλλ' εν πραττω? τα μεν οπισω λησμονων, εις δε τα εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενος,	13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,
14 τρεχω προς τον σκοπον δια το βραβειον της ανω κλησεως του Θεου εν Χριστω Ιησου.	14 I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Οσοι λοιπον ειμεθα τελειοι, τουτο ας φρονωμεν? και εαν φρονητε τι αλλως πως, και τουτο θελει αποκαλυψει εις εσας ο Θεος.	15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
16 Πλην εις εκεινο, εις το οποιον εφθασαμεν, ας περιπατωμεν κατα τον αυτον κανονα, ας φρονωμεν το αυτο.	16 Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
17 Αδελφοι, συμμιμηται μου γινεσθε και παρατηρειτε τους οσοι περιπατουσιν ουτω, καθως εχετε τυπον ημας.	17 Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
18 Διοτι περιπατουσι πολλοι, τους οποιους σας ελεγον πολλακις, τωρα δε και κλαιων λεγω, οτι ειναι οι εχθροι του σταυρου του Χριστου,	18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;
19 των οποιων το τελος ειναι απωλεια, των οποιων ο Θεος ειναι η κοιλια, και η δοξα αυτων ειναι εν τη αισχυνη αυτων, οιτινες φρονουσι τα επιγεια.	19 Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.
20 Διοτι το πολιτευμα ημων ειναι εν ουρανοις, οποθεν και προσμενομεν Σωτηρα τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον,	20 But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 οστις θελει μετασχηματισει το σωμα της ταπεινωσεως ημων, ωστε να γεινη συμμορφον με το σωμα της δοξης αυτου κατα την ενεργειαν, δια της οποιας δυναται και να υποταξη τα παντα εις εαυτον.	21 Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
