Philippians 3 : 1 (HCSB)

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write to you again about this is no trouble for me and is a protection for you.

Philippians 3 : 2 (HCSB)

Watch out for "dogs," watch out for evil workers, watch out for those who mutilate the flesh.

Philippians 3 : 3 (HCSB)

For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh--

Philippians 3 : 4 (HCSB)

although I once had confidence in the flesh too. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

Philippians 3 : 5 (HCSB)

circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

Philippians 3 : 6 (HCSB)

as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to the righteousness that is in the law, blameless.

Philippians 3 : 7 (HCSB)

But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ.

Philippians 3 : 8 (HCSB)

More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ

Philippians 3 : 9 (HCSB)

and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ-- the righteousness from God based on faith.

Philippians 3 : 10 (HCSB)

*My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Philippians 3 : 11 (HCSB)

assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.

Philippians 3 : 12 (HCSB)

Not that I have already reached *the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3 : 13 (HCSB)

Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead,

Philippians 3 : 14 (HCSB)

I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3 : 15 (HCSB)

Therefore, all who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal this to you also.

Philippians 3 : 16 (HCSB)

In any case, we should live up to whatever *truth we have attained.

Philippians 3 : 17 (HCSB)

Join in imitating me, brothers, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us.

Philippians 3 : 18 (HCSB)

For I have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Philippians 3 : 19 (HCSB)

Their end is destruction; their god is their stomach; their glory is in their shame. They are focused on earthly things,

Philippians 3 : 20 (HCSB)

but our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 3 : 21 (HCSB)

He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of His glorious body, by the power that enables Him to subject everything to Himself.
