NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Philippians 3

The Goal of Life

1

Finallyg3062, my brethreng80,  arejoiceg5463 in the Lordg2962. To writeg1125 the sameg846 thingsg846 again is nog3756 troubleg3636 to me, and it is a safeguardg804 for you.

2

Bewareg991 of the  adogsg2965, bewareg991 of the  bevilg2556 workersg2040, bewareg991 of the  1falseg2699 circumcisiong2699;

3

for  awe are the true  1circumcisiong4061, who  bworshipg3000 in the Spiritg4151 of Godg2316 and  cgloryg2744 in  dChristg5547 Jesusg2424 and putg3982 nog3756 confidenceg3982 in the fleshg4561,

4

althoughg2539  aI myselfg1473 might haveg2192 confidenceg4006 eveng2532 in the fleshg4561. Ifg1487 anyoneg5100 elseg243 hasg1380 a mindg1380 to putg3982 confidenceg3982 in the fleshg4561, I far moreg3123:

5

 acircumcisedg4061 the eighthg3637 dayg3637, of the  bnationg1085 of Israelg2474, of the  ctribeg5443 of Benjaming958, a  bHebrewg1445 of Hebrewsg1445; as to the Lawg3551,  da Phariseeg5330;

6

as to zealg2205b,  aa persecutorg1377 of the churchg1577; as to the  brighteousnessg1343 which is in the Lawg3551, foundg1096  cblamelessg273.

7

But  awhateverg3748 thingsg3748 were gaing2771 to me, thoseg3778 thingsg3778 I have countedg2233 as lossg2209 for the sakeg1223 of Christg5547.

8

Moreg3304 thang3304 that, I countg2233 allg3956 thingsg3956 to be lossg2209  1in viewg1223 of the surpassingg5242 valueg5242 of  2 aknowingg1108  bChristg5547 Jesusg2424 my Lordg2962,  1for whomg3739 I have sufferedg2210 the lossg2210 of allg3956 thingsg3956, and countg2233 them but rubbishg4657 sog2443 that I may gaing2770 Christg5547,

9

and may be foundg2147 in Him, not havingg2192  aa righteousnessg1343 of my owng1699 derivedg1537 from the Lawg3551, but that which is throughg1223 faithg4102 in Christg5547,  bthe righteousnessg1343 which comes from Godg2316 on the basisg1909 of faithg4102,

10

that I may  aknowg1097 Him and  bthe powerg1411 of His resurrectiong386 and  1 cthe fellowshipg2842 of His sufferingsg3804, being  dconformedg4832a to His deathg2288;

11

 1in orderg1513b that I may  aattaing2658 to the resurrectiong1815 from the deadg3498.

12

Not that I have alreadyg2235  aobtainedg2983 it org2228 have alreadyg2235  bbecome perfectg5048, but I pressg1377 on  1sog2532 that I may  clayg2638 holdg2638 of that  2for whichg3739 alsog2532 I  dwas laidg2638 holdg2638 of by  eChristg5547 Jesusg2424.

13

Brethreng80, I do not regardg3049 myselfg1683 as having laidg2638 holdg2638 of it yetg3768; but oneg1520 thingg1520 I do:  aforgettingg1950 what lies behindg3694 and reachingg1901 forwardg1901 to what lies aheadg1715,

14

I  apressg1377 on towardg1519 the goalg4649 for the prizeg1017 of the  bupwardg507 callg2821 of Godg2316 in  cChristg5547 Jesusg2424.

15

Let us thereforeg3767, as manyg3745 as are  1 aperfectg5046, haveg5426 thisg3778 attitudeg5426; and ifg1487 in anythingg5100 you haveg5426 a  bdifferentg2088 attitudeg5426,  cGodg2316 will revealg601 that alsog2532 to you;

16

howeverg4133, let us keep  1 alivingg4748 by that sameg846 standard to whichg3739 we have attainedg5348.

17

Brethreng80,  ajoing4831g1096 in followingg4831 my exampleg4831, and observeg4648 thoseg3588 who walkg4043 accordingg2531a to the  bpatterng5179b you haveg2192 in us.

18

For  amanyg4183 walkg4043, of whomg3739 I ofteng4178 toldg3004 you, and nowg3568 tellg3004 you eveng2532  bweepingg2799, that they are enemiesg2190 of  cthe crossg4716 of Christg5547,

19

whoseg3739 endg5056 is destructiong684, whoseg3739 godg2316 is their  1 aappetiteg2836, and whose  bgloryg1391 is in their shameg152, who  csetg5426 their mindsg5426 on earthlyg1919 thingsg1919.

20

For  aour  1citizenshipg4175 is in heaveng3772, from whichg3739 alsog2532 we eagerlyg553  bwaitg553 for a Saviorg4990, the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547;

21

whog3739 will  atransformg3345  1the bodyg4983 of our humbleg5014 stateg5014 into  bconformityg4832b with  2the  cbodyg4983 of His gloryg1391,  dby the exertiong1753b of the powerg1410 that He hasg1410 eveng2532 to  esubjectg5293 allg3956 thingsg3956 to Himselfg846.
