Finally, mybrethren, rejoiceinthe Lord. To writethesame thingsto you, to meindeed is notgrievous, butfor you it is safe. Bewareof dogs, bewareof evilworkers, bewareof theconcision. Forwearethecircumcision, which worshipGodin the spirit, andrejoiceinChristJesus, andhave no confidenceinthe flesh. ThoughImight alsohaveconfidenceinthe flesh. If anyother manthinkeththat he hath whereof he might trustinthe flesh, Imore: Circumcisedthe eighth day, ofthe stockof Israel, of the tribeof Benjamin, a Hebrewofthe Hebrews; as touchingthe law, a Pharisee; Concerningzeal, persecutingthechurch; touchingthe righteousnesswhichis inthe law, blameless. Butwhat thingsweregainto me, thoseI countedlossforChrist. Yeadoubtless, andI countall thingsbutlossfortheexcellencyof theknowledgeof ChristJesusmyLord: forwhomI have suffered the lossof all things, anddo countthem but dung, thatI may winChrist, Andbe foundinhim, nothavingmine ownrighteousness, whichis ofthe law, butthatwhich is throughthe faithof Christ, therighteousnesswhich is ofGodbyfaith: That I may knowhim, andthepowerof hisresurrection, andthefellowshipof hissufferings, being made conformableunto hisdeath; If by any meansI might attainuntotheresurrectionof thedead. Notas thoughI had alreadyattained, eitherwere already perfect: butI follow after, if thatI may apprehendthat forwhichalsoI am apprehendedofChristJesus. Brethren, Icountnotmyselfto have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgettingthose things which are behind, andreaching forthunto those things which are before, I presstowardthe markfortheprizeof thehighcallingof GodinChristJesus. Let us therefore, as many asbe perfect, be thus minded: andif in any thingye be otherwise minded, Godshall revealeventhisunto you. Nevertheless, wheretowe have already attained, let us walkby thesamerule, let us mindthesame thing. Brethren, befollowers togetherof me, andmarkthem which walksoasye haveusfor an example. ( Formanywalk, of whomI have toldyouoften, andnowtellyou evenweeping, that they are theenemiesof thecrossof Christ: Whoseend is destruction, whoseGod is their belly, and whose glory is intheirshame, who mindearthly things.)
