Philippians 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Concerning other things, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is certainly not tiresome for me to write the same things to you, but for you, it is not necessary.	1 De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribe re mihiquidem non pigrum, vobis autem securum.
2 Beware of dogs; beware of those who work evil; beware of those who are divisive.	2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios,videte concisionem!
3 For we are the circumcised, we who serve God in the Spirit and who glory in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh.	3 Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui Spiritu Dei servimus etgloriamur in Christo Iesu et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
4 Nevertheless, I might have confidence also in the flesh, for if anyone else seems to have confidence in the flesh, more so do I.	4 quamquam egohabeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, egomagis:
5 For I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew among Hebrews. According to the law, I was a Pharisee;	5 circumcisus octava die, ex genere Israel, de tribu Beniamin, Hebraeusex Hebraeis, secundum legem pharisaeus,
6 according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame.	6 secundum aemulationem persequensecclesiam, secundum iustitiam, quae in lege est, conversatus sine querela.
7 But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, for the sake of Christ.	7 Sed, quae mihi erant lucra, haec arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimentum.
8 Yet truly, I consider everything to be a loss, because of the preeminent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of everything, considering it all to be like dung, so that I may 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 so that you may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, the justice within faith, which is of God.	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 So shall I know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his Passion, having been fashioned according to his death,	10 ad cognoscendum illum et virtutem resurrectionis eiuset communionem passionum illius, conformans me morti eius,
11 if, by some means, I might attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.	11 si quo modooccurram ad resurrectionem, quae est ex mortuis.
12 It is not as though I have already received this, or were already perfect. But rather I pursue, so that by some means I might attain, that in which I have already been attained by Christ Jesus.	12 Non quod iam acceperim autiam perfectus sim; persequor autem si umquam comprehendam, sicut et comprehensussum a Christo Iesu.
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have already attained this. Instead, I do one thing: forgetting those things that are behind, and extending myself toward those things that are ahead,	13 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse; unum autem:quae quidem retro sunt, obliviscens, ad ea vero, quae ante sunt, extendens me
14 I pursue the destination, the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.	14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernae vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu.
15 Therefore, as many of us as are being perfected, let us agree about this. And if in anything you disagree, God will reveal this to you also.	15 Quicumque ergo perfecti, hoc sentiamus; et si quid aliter sapitis, et hocvobis Deus revelabit;
16 Yet truly, whatever point we reach, let us be of the same mind, and let us remain in the same rule.	16 verumtamen, ad quod pervenimus, in eodem ambulemus.
17 Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.	17 Coimitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos, qui ita ambulant, sicuthabetis formam nos.
18 For many persons, about whom I have often told you (and now tell you, weeping,) are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ.	18 Multi enim ambulant, quos saepe dicebam vobis, nunc autemet flens dico, inimicos crucis Christi,
19 Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.	19 quorum finis interitus, quorum deusventer et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
20 But our way of life is in heaven. And from heaven, too, we await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ,	20 Noster enimmunicipatus in caelis est, unde etiam salvatorem exspectamus Dominum IesumChristum,
21 who will transform the body of our lowliness, according to the form of the body of his glory, by means of that power by which he is even able to subject all things to himself.	21 qui transfigurabit corpus humilitatis nostrae, ut illud conformefaciat corpori gloriae suae secundum operationem, qua possit etiam subicere sibiomnia.
