3:1  Moreover, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It does not trouble me to write the same things to you. And for you it is certain.
3:2  Beware of dogs. Beware of evil workers. Beware of the concision.
3:3  For we are the circumcision. We worship God in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh,
3:4  though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he might have confidence in the flesh, more so I:
3:5  circumcised the eighth day; of the kindred of Israel; of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; by the Law, a Pharisee;
3:6  concerning zeal, I persecuted the Church; according to righteousness (which is in the Law), I had become blameless.
3:7  But whatever things that were gain to me, the same I have counted as loss for Christ’s sake.
3:8  Indeed, also, I count all things but loss for the sake of the surpassing knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for Whom I have counted all things loss and judge them to be garbage, so that I may gain Christ
3:9  and be found in Him; that is, not having my own righteousness (which is of the Law) but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness which is from God by faith;
3:10  so that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering and be conformed to His death
3:11  (if by any means I might attain to the resurrection from the dead).
3:12  Not that I have already attained to it or been perfected. But I follow, so that I may seize that for which I also was seized by Christ Jesus.
3:13  Brothers, I do not count myself as having seized it. But one thing I do: I forget that which is behind and stretch forward toward that which is ahead;
3:14  and follow hard toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
3:15  Let us, therefore (as many as are mature) be thus-minded. And if you are otherwise-minded, even this God shall reveal to you.
3:16  Nevertheless, to that which we have already attained, let us walk by one rule and be of the same mind.
3:17  Brothers, be imitators of me and observe those who also walk thus (as you have us for an example).
3:18  For many walk of whom I have often told you (and tell you now, weeping) who are the enemies of the cross of Christ;
3:19  whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their knowledge of earthly things, to their shame.
3:20  But our citizenship is in Heaven, from where we also look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
3:21  He shall transform our humiliated body into a body conformed to His glory, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
