Philippians 3

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
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 De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribe re mihiquidem non pigrum, vobis autem securum.
2 Beware of dogs! Beware of evil workmen! Beware of self-mutilators!	2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios,videte concisionem!
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 Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui Spiritu Dei servimus etgloriamur in Christo Iesu et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
4 although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better.	4 quamquam egohabeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, egomagis:
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 circumcisus octava die, ex genere Israel, de tribu Beniamin, Hebraeusex Hebraeis, secundum legem pharisaeus,
6 as for religious fervour, I was a persecutor of the Church; as for the uprightness embodied in the Law, Iwas faultless.	6 secundum aemulationem persequensecclesiam, secundum iustitiam, quae in lege est, conversatus sine querela.
7 But what were once my assets I now through Christ Jesus count as losses.	7 Sed, quae mihi erant lucra, haec arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimentum.
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 Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentiam scientiaeChristi Iesu Domini mei, propter quem omnia detrimentum feci et arbitror utstercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam
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 et inveniar in illo non habens meamiustitiam, quae ex lege est, sed illam, quae per fidem est Christi, quae ex Deoest iustitia in fide;
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 ad cognoscendum illum et virtutem resurrectionis eiuset communionem passionum illius, conformans me morti eius,
11 striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead.	11 si quo modooccurram ad resurrectionem, quae est ex mortuis.
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 Non quod iam acceperim autiam perfectus sim; persequor autem si umquam comprehendam, sicut et comprehensussum a Christo Iesu.
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 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse; unum autem:quae quidem retro sunt, obliviscens, ad ea vero, quae ante sunt, extendens me
14 I am racing towards the finishing-point to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.	14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernae vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu.
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 Quicumque ergo perfecti, hoc sentiamus; et si quid aliter sapitis, et hocvobis Deus revelabit;
16 Meanwhile, let us go forward from the point we have each attained.	16 verumtamen, ad quod pervenimus, in eodem ambulemus.
17 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the exampleyou have from me.	17 Coimitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos, qui ita ambulant, sicuthabetis formam nos.
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 Multi enim ambulant, quos saepe dicebam vobis, nunc autemet flens dico, inimicos crucis Christi,
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 quorum finis interitus, quorum deusventer et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
20 But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist,	20 Noster enimmunicipatus in caelis est, unde etiam salvatorem exspectamus Dominum IesumChristum,
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 qui transfigurabit corpus humilitatis nostrae, ut illud conformefaciat corpori gloriae suae secundum operationem, qua possit etiam subicere sibiomnia.
