3:1  Moreover, my brethren, put your trust in the Lord. It grieves me not to write the same thing often to you, for to you it is a safeguard.
3:2  Beware of dogs. Beware of evil workers. Beware of dissension.
3:3  For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and trust in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh –
3:4  though I have whereof I might be confident in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has reason to trust in the flesh, I have much more:
3:5  circumcised the eighth day, of the kindred of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of the Hebrews; as concerning the law, a Pharisee,
3:6  and as concerning zeal, I persecuted the congregation. And as for the righteousness that is in the law, I was unrebukable.
3:7  But the things that were of advantage to me, I counted worthless for Christ’s sake.
3:8  Yea, I think all things worthless for the sake of the supreme and precious knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord. For him I have counted all things a waste, and do judge them but dung, so that I may win Christ,
3:9  and may be found in him – not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith that is in Christ. I mean the righteousness which comes from God through faith,
3:10  in knowing him, and the power of the resurrection, and the fellowship of his passions, so that I may be conformable to his death,
3:11  if by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
3:12  It is not as if I had already attained to it, or were already perfect. But I press on, if so be that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me.
3:13  Brethren, I do not count myself as having gotten it. But one thing I say: I forget that which is behind and reach for that which is ahead,
3:14  and press on to that mark appointed, to obtain the reward of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
3:15  Let us therefore, as many as are sound in the faith, be so minded. And if you are otherwise minded, I pray God would open this to you.
3:16  Nevertheless, in that to which we have come, let us proceed by one rule so that we may be of one accord.
3:17  Brethren, be followers of me, and observe those who walk in the same way, since you have us for an example.
3:18  For many walk (of whom I have told you often, and now tell you weeping) as enemies of the cross of Christ,
3:19  whose end is damnation, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is to their shame – who are worldly-minded.
3:20  But our citizenship is in heaven, from whence we look for a saviour, even the Lord Jesus Christ,
3:21  who will change our lowly bodies so that they may be fashioned like his glorious body, by the power with which he is able to subdue all things to himself.
