1 De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribe re mihiquidem non pigrum, vobis autem securum.	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.
2 Videte canes, videte malos operarios,videte concisionem!	2 Beware of dogs; beware of those who work evil; beware of those who are divisive.

4 quamquam egohabeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, egomagis:	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.

6 secundum aemulationem persequensecclesiam, secundum iustitiam, quae in lege est, conversatus sine querela.	6 according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame.
7 Sed, quae mihi erant lucra, haec arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimentum.	7 But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, for the sake of Christ.
8 Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentiam scientiaeChristi Iesu Domini mei, propter quem omnia detrimentum feci et arbitror utstercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam	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,
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;	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.

11 si quo modooccurram ad resurrectionem, quae est ex mortuis.	11 if, by some means, I might attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
12 Non quod iam acceperim autiam perfectus sim; persequor autem si umquam comprehendam, sicut et comprehensussum a Christo Iesu.	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.
13 Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse; unum autem:quae quidem retro sunt, obliviscens, ad ea vero, quae ante sunt, extendens me	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,
14 ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernae vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu.	14 I pursue the destination, the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Quicumque ergo perfecti, hoc sentiamus; et si quid aliter sapitis, et hocvobis Deus revelabit;	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.
16 verumtamen, ad quod pervenimus, in eodem ambulemus.	16 Yet truly, whatever point we reach, let us be of the same mind, and let us remain in the same rule.
17 Coimitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos, qui ita ambulant, sicuthabetis formam nos.	17 Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.
18 Multi enim ambulant, quos saepe dicebam vobis, nunc autemet flens dico, inimicos crucis Christi,	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.
19 quorum finis interitus, quorum deusventer et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.	19 Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.
