Philippians 3

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Finally, brothers, I wish you joy in the Lord. To write to you what I have already written before is notrouble to me and to you will be a protection.	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 Beware of dogs! Beware of evil workmen! Beware of self-mutilators!	2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 We are the true people of the circumcision since we worship by the Spirit of God and make Christ Jesusour only boast, not relying on physical qualifications,	3 For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
4 although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better.	4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
5 Circumcised on the eighth day of my life, I was born of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, aHebrew born of Hebrew parents. In the matter of the Law, I was a Pharisee;	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 as for religious fervour, I was a persecutor of the Church; as for the uprightness embodied in the Law, Iwas faultless.	6 According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
7 But what were once my assets I now through Christ Jesus count as losses.	7 But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
8 Yes, I wil go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I counteverything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of al other things, and look on them all as filth if only Ican gain Christ	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 and be given a place in him, with the uprightness I have gained not from the Law, but through faith inChrist, an uprightness from God, based on faith,	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 that I may come to know him and the power of his resurrection, and partake of his sufferings by beingmoulded to the pattern of his death,	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 striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead.	11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
12 Not that I have secured it already, nor yet reached my goal, but I am stil pursuing it in the attempt totake hold of the prize for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.	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 Brothers, I do not reckon myself as having taken hold of it; I can only say that forgetting al that liesbehind me, and straining forward to what lies in front,	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 I am racing towards the finishing-point to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.	14 I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
15 So this is the way in which al of us who are mature should be thinking, and if you are still thinkingdifferently in any way, then God has yet to make this matter clear to you.	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 Meanwhile, let us go forward from the point we have each attained.	16 Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
17 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the exampleyou have from me.	17 Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
18 For there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tearsin my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ's cross.	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 They are destined to be lost; their god is the stomach; they glory in what they should think shameful,since their minds are set on earthly things.	19 Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.
20 But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist,	20 But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who wil transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the workingof the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery.	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.
