Philippians 3

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no burden for me but is a safeguard for you.	1 Uostalom, braćo moja, radujte se u Gospodinu! Pisati vam jedno te isto meni nije dosadno, a za vas je sigurnije.
2 Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilation!	2 Čuvajte se tih pasa, čuvajte se tih opakih radnika, čuvajte se te osakaćenosti!
3 For we are the circumcision, we who worship through the Spirit of God, who boast in Christ Jesus and do not put our confidence in flesh,	3 Jer mi smo obrezanje, mi koji u Duhu Božjemu obavljamo bogoslužje i dičimo se Kristom Isusom, a ne pouzdajemo se u tijelo,
4 although I myself have grounds for confidence even in the flesh.If anyone else thinks he can be confident in flesh, all the more can I.	4 iako bih se ja mogao pouzdati i u tijelo. Smatra li tko drugi da se može uzdati u tijelo, ja još više:
5 Circumcised on the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrew parentage, in observance of the law a Pharisee,	5 obrezan osmog dana, od roda sam Izraelova, plemena Benjaminova, Hebrej od Hebrejâ; po Zakonu farizej,
6 in zeal I persecuted the church, in righteousness based on the law I was blameless.	6 po revnosti progonitelj Crkve, po pravednosti zakonskoj besprijekoran.
7 (But) whatever gains I had, these I have come to consider a loss because of Christ.	7 Ali što mi god bijaše dobitak, to poradi Krista smatram gubitkom.
8 More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ	8 Štoviše, čak sve gubitkom smatram zbog onoga najizvrsnijeg, zbog spoznanja Isusa Krista, Gospodina mojega, radi kojega sve izgubih i otpadom smatram: da Krista steknem
9 and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God, depending on faith	9 i u njemu se nađem – ne svojom pravednošću, onom od Zakona, nego pravednošću po vjeri u Krista, onom od Boga, na vjeri utemeljenoj –
10 to know him and the power of his resurrection and (the) sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death,	10 da upoznam njega i snagu uskrsnuća njegova i zajedništvo u patnjama njegovim,
11 if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.	11 ne bih li kako, suobličen smrti njegovoj, prispio k uskrsnuću od mrtvih.
12 It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ (Jesus).	12 Ne kao da sam već postigao ili dopro do savršenstva, nego – hitim ne bih li kako dohvatio jer sam i zahvaćen od Krista.
13 Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead,	13 Braćo, ja nipošto ne smatram da sam već dohvatio. Jedno samo: što je za mnom, zaboravljam, za onim što je preda mnom, prežem,
14 I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus.	14 k cilju hitim, k nagradi višnjeg poziva Božjeg u Kristu Isusu.
15 Let us, then, who are "perfectly mature" adopt this attitude. And if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you.	15 Koji smo god zreli, ovako mislimo! I ako što drukčije mislite, Bog će vam ovako objaviti.
16 Only, with regard to what we have attained, continue on the same course.	16 Samo, držimo se onoga do čega smo stigli!
17 Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us.	17 Braćo! Nasljedovatelji moji budite i promatrajte one koji žive po uzoru koji imate u nama.
18 For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ.	18 Jer često sam vam govorio, a sada i plačući govorim: mnogi žive kao neprijatelji križa Kristova.
19 Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their "shame." Their minds are occupied with earthly things.	19 Svršetak im je propast, bog im je trbuh, slava u sramoti – jer misle na zemaljsko.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.	20 Naša je pak domovina na nebesima, odakle iščekujemo Spasitelja, Gospodina našega Isusa Krista:
21 He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself.	21 snagom kojom ima moć sve sebi podložiti on će preobraziti ovo naše bijedno tijelo i suobličiti ga tijelu svomu slavnomu.
