Philippians 3

1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe. 2Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision: 3for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh: 4though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more: 5circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless. 7Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ, 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith: 10that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; 11if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead. 12Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 14I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you: 16only, whereunto we have attained, by that same rule let us walk.
17Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample. 18For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 20For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

1As to the rest, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, have simcha in Adoneinu.#3:1 1:25; 2:18,28,29; 4:4 To keep writing the zelba thing#3:1 1:4,18; 1:25; 2:2,17,18,28,29 to you is not an irksome bother to me, but for you it is a te'udat bitachon (safeguard).
2Be shomer and on your guard and watch out for those#3:2 unclean, prowling kelevim (dogs),#3:2 Ps 22:17 [16], 20; Rv 22:15 watch out for the evil po'alim (workers), watch out for the “circummutilators”.#3:2 Ga 6:12
3For we are the Bnei HaMilah,#3:3 Ro 2:29; Co 2:11-12 the ones whose avodas kodesh is by the Ruach Hakodesh#3:3 Jn 4:23; Ro 8:4 and whose kavod is in Moshiach Yehoshua and who take no bitachon in the basar,
4Even though I could be having bitachon also in the basar. If any other person thinks he has grounds to have bitachon in the basar, I have more:#3:4 2C 11:18—12:10
5Bris milah on the eighth day;#3:5 Lk 1:59; 2:21 from Bnei Yisroel by birth; of the tribe of Binyamin; a speaker of Lashon HaKodesh, Ivrit of Ivrit-speaking horim, a Hebrew of Hebrews;#3:5 2C 11:22 with regard to the Torah, from the kat haPerushim;#3:5 Ac 23:6; 26:5
6With regard to kin'a (zealousness), persecuting the Adat HaMoshiach;#3:6 Ac 8:3; 22:4; 26:9-11 with regard to tzidkat HaTorah,#3:6 3:9; Ro 2:27-29, as opposed to the tzidkat Hashem I was medakdekim bmitzvot unreproachable.#3:6 i.e., hair-splittingly and rigorously observant, glatt kosher, frumkait, shomer mitzvot Haredi
7But what things were revach (gain, profit) to me, these things I considered loss, on account of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.#3:7 Mt 13:44-46; Lk 14:33
8But even more so, I consider all to be loss on account of the excellency of the da'as of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,#3:8 3:10; Jer 9:23-24 on account of whom I suffered the loss of all things and I consider them as nothing, in comparison, that I may gain Moshiach,#3:8 Ps 73:25
9And be found in him, not having my own Tzidkot (self-achieved righteousness, by definition a self-righteousness based on chumra stringency)#3:9 zokheh “merit” contra Dt 9:5-6; misinterpretation of the Torah from gezetz, but the Tzedek#3:9 Jer 33:16 through emunah#3:9 Ro 3:21-22 in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the Tzidkat Hashem based upon emunah.#3:9 Gn 15:6; Ro 9:30
10I want to have da'as of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and of the gevurah (power) of the Techiyas HaMoshiach and the deveykus (attachment to G-d) of Moshiachʼs yissurim (sufferings),#3:10 1:29; Ro 8:17; Ga 6:17 being formed into the mode of being of Moshiachʼs death,#3:10 death to the sinful Olam Hazeh and the unregenerate basar Ro 6:3-5
11If somehow I may attain to the Techiyas HaMesim.
12Not that already I obtained or already have been made shleimut, but I pursue this tachlis (final end, aim) that I may lay hold of#3:12 1Ti 6:12,19 cf. Pp 2:6 that for which I was laid hold of by Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.#3:12 Ac 9:5-6
13Achim b'Moshiach, I do not consider myself to have laid hold;#3:13 Pp 3:12 but one zach (thing) I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to the things ahead,
14According to the tachlis I pursue the prize of the Shomayim Aliyah ascent of Hashem, the upward k'riah (call) of HaShem b'Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.#3:14 2Kgs 1:10; 2:12
15Therefore, as many as would be shleimut, let us think like this:#3:15 Pp 2:5-8 and if in anything your machshavot (thoughts) are different,#3:15 Mt 5:48; 2C 2:6 even this Hashem will reveal to you.
16Fort (nevertheless), let us march in line with what we have attained, let us hold to the same.#3:16 Ga 6:16
17Achim b'Moshiach, together be imitators of me.#3:17 1C 4:16; 11:1 Take note of the ones walking as you have a mofet in us.#3:17 2:5-30; 1Th 1:7; 1K 5:3
18For many, of whom I was often telling you, and now also I say with weeping, walk as oyvim (enemies) of Moshiachʼs Etz.#3:18 Dt 21:23; 27:26; Ga 3:13; 1C 1:23; Ga 6:12 cf Pp 2:8
19Their destined end#3:19 Ps 73:17 is churban (destruction, Gehinnom). Their g-d is their appetite,#3:19 Ro 16:18 and their kavod, what they glory in, is their bushah (shame). Their machshavot are set on the Olam Hazeh.#3:19 Ro 8:5-6
20But the torat haEzrakhut#3:20 see Pp 1:27 (citizenship) we conduct exists in Shomayim,#3:20 Ep 2:6; MJ 12:22; Ga 4:26; 6:16 from where also we eagerly await a Moshi'a (Savior), a Go'el, Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
21Who will transfigure the basar of our humiliation into the demut of the mode of being of the guf kavod of Moshiach, according to the pe'ulah#3:21 Pp 1:6; 2:13 (action, work) of his ko'ach (power),#3:21 Ro 8:29; 1C 15:43-53 even to the subjecting of all things to himself.#3:21 1C 15:28
