3:1  Therefore, my brethren, rejoice in Our Lord; it is not tedious to me as I write these same things to you, because they protect you.
3:2  Beware of dogs; beware of evildoers; beware of the circumcisers.
3:3  For we are the circumcision, those who serve God in The Spirit, and we glory in Yeshua The Messiah, and we do not trust upon the flesh,
3:4  As I did have trust in the flesh, for if a man has hoped in his trust in the flesh, I have more than he:
3:5  Circumcised on the eighth day, of the family of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew, son of a Hebrew, in the Law, a Pharisee;
3:6  In zeal, a persecutor of the church, in righteousness of The Written Law I was without indictment.
3:7  But these things that were advantages to me, I have accounted losses for the sake of The Messiah.
3:8  I also consider all these things a loss for the majesty of the knowledge of Yeshua The Messiah, my Lord, him for whose sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all as a dung heap, that I may gain The Messiah,
3:9  And be found in him, while I do not have my own righteousness, which is from The Written Law, but that which is from the faith of The Messiah, which is the righteousness that is from God,
3:10  That by it I may know Yeshua and the power of his resurrection, and that I may share in his sufferings and be conformed with his death,
3:11  That perhaps I may be able to come to the resurrection from the place of the dead.
3:12  I have not yet received it, neither am I yet perfect, but I run so that I may obtain that thing for which Yeshua The Messiah apprehended me.
3:13  My brethren, I do not consider myself to have obtained it, but I know one thing: I have forgotten that which is behind me and I reach out before me,
3:14  And I run toward the goal to take the victory of the calling of God from on high in Yeshua The Messiah.
3:15  Let those who are perfected, therefore, be governed by these things, and if you are governed by anything else, God will reveal this also to you.
3:16  However, that we may arrive at this, let us follow in one path and with one accord.
3:17  Imitate me, my brethren, and observe those who walk in this way according to the pattern you have seen in us.
3:18  For many who walk differently, about whom I have told you many times, but now as I weep, I say that they are the enemies of the cross of The Messiah.
3:19  For their end is destruction, whose God is their belly and their glory is in their shame- these whose minds are in the dirt.
3:20  But our business is in Heaven and from there we look for The Life Giver, our Lord Yeshua The Messiah.
3:21  For he will transform the body of our humiliation into the image of his glorious body, according to his great power by which everything has been made subject to him.
