1 ¶ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. See also: Romans 5:11 Philippians 4:4 James 1:2 Philippians 4:8 1 Thessalonians 5:16
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. See also: 2 Corinthians 11:13 Titus 1:16 Revelation 22:15 Isaiah 56:10-11 2 Timothy 3:1-6
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. See also: Colossians 2:11 Deuteronomy 30:6 Romans 7:6 Galatians 6:13-15 Romans 8:15
4 ¶ Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: See also: 2 Corinthians 11:18-22
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; See also: 2 Corinthians 11:22 Romans 11:1 Acts 23:6 Genesis 17:12 Acts 22:3
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. See also: Galatians 1:13-14 Acts 8:3 Acts 26:9-10 Acts 22:3-4 Matthew 5:20
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. See also: Luke 14:33 Matthew 16:26 Matthew 13:44-46 Proverbs 13:8 Luke 14:26
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, See also: Jeremiah 9:23-24 Romans 8:18 Acts 20:24 Philippians 3:7 John 17:3
9 ¶ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: See also: 2 Corinthians 5:21 1 Corinthians 1:30 Galatians 2:16 Romans 4:5-6 Romans 4:13-15
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; See also: Galatians 2:20 2 Timothy 2:11-12 1 Peter 4:1-2 Romans 8:17 Romans 6:3-11
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. See also: Luke 20:35-36 Revelation 20:5 Acts 23:6 Acts 26:7 2 Corinthians 11:3
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. See also: 1 Timothy 6:11-12 2 Peter 1:5-8 Psalms 138:8 Hosea 6:3 1 Peter 3:11-13
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, See also: Luke 9:62 Hebrews 12:1-2 Philippians 3:12 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Psalms 27:4
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. See also: 1 Corinthians 9:24 1 Peter 5:10 Revelation 3:21 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Romans 8:28-30
15 ¶ Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. See also: John 7:17 Proverbs 2:3-6 1 Corinthians 2:6 Galatians 5:10 James 1:4-5
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. See also: Colossians 2:6 Revelation 3:3 Revelation 2:4-5 Romans 15:5 Galatians 6:16
17 ¶ Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. See also: Philippians 4:9 1 Corinthians 4:16 1 Peter 5:3 1 Timothy 4:12 2 Thessalonians 3:7
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: See also: Ephesians 4:17 Isaiah 8:11 Galatians 6:12 Jeremiah 13:17 Galatians 1:7
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) See also: Romans 16:18 Romans 8:5-7 2 Peter 2:3 Colossians 3:2 Jude 1:12-13
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: See also: Ephesians 2:19 Colossians 3:1-3 2 Corinthians 4:18 Hebrews 12:22 1 Peter 1:3-4
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. See also: 1 John 3:2 Colossians 3:4 1 Corinthians 15:42-56 Romans 8:29 John 11:24-26
