Ang Tunay na Pagiging Matuwid
1Ngayon, mga kapatid, magalak kayo sa Panginoon. Hindi ako magsasawang sabihin ito nang paulit-ulit dahil para ito sa kabutihan ninyo. 2Mag-ingat kayo sa mga asal-hayop, silang mga gumagawa ng masasama at ipinipilit ang pagtutuli. 3Ngunit tayo ang totoong tuli,#3:3 tayo ang totoong tuli: Ang ibig sabihin, “tayo ang may tunay na palatandaan na tayoʼy mga anak ng Diyos.” dahil naglilingkod tayo sa Diyos sa tulong ng kanyang Espiritu, at ipinagmamalaki ang ginawa ni Kristo Hesus. Hindi tayo nagtitiwala sa mga panlabas na seremonya o panuntunan. 4Kung sabagay, mayroon akong maipagmamalaki kung ang pagsunod sa mga seremonya ang pag-uusapan.
Kung iniisip ninuman na may katwiran siyang magmalaki sa mga bagay na ito, lalo na ako.
5Noong walong araw pa lamang akoʼy tinuli na ako. Isa akong Israelita na mula sa lahi ni Benjamin, isang tunay na Hebreo. At kung pagsunod sa Kautusan naman, talagang sinusunod ko ito dahil Pariseo ako. 6Kung tungkol naman sa sigasig ko bilang Hudyo, inusig ko ang iglesya#3:6 iglesya: Ang ibig sabihin, “mga mananampalataya ni Kristo.”. Walang maipipintas sa akin pagdating sa pagsunod sa Kautusan.
7Pinapahalagahan ko noon ang lahat ng ito, ngunit ngayoʼy itinuturing ko na itong walang halaga dahil kay Kristo. 8At hindi lang iyan, para sa akin, ang lahat ng bagay ay walang halaga kung ihahambing sa di-mapapantayang halaga ng pagkakilala ko kay Kristo Hesus na aking Panginoon. Itinuturing ko nang basura ang lahat ng bagay makamtan ko lamang si Kristo, 9at ako namaʼy maging kanya. Hindi na ako nagtitiwala na akoʼy magiging matuwid sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa Kautusan kundi sa pananampalataya kay Kristo. Ang pagiging matuwid na ito ay kaloob ng Diyos dahil sa pananampalataya. 10Nais ko ngayon na higit pang makilala si Kristo, maranasan ang kapangyarihan ng muli niyang pagkabuhay, makabahagi sa mga paghihirap niya at matulad sa kanya, sa kamatayan niya. 11Sa ganoon, mabubuhay akong muli. Harinawa.
Magpatuloy Hanggang Makamtan ang Gantimpala
12Hindi ko sinasabing nakamtan ko na ang lahat, o kayaʼy naging ganap na ako. Sa halip, patuloy akong nagsusumikap upang makamtan iyon, dahil ito ang layunin ni Kristo Hesus nang tawagin niya ako. 13Mga kapatid, hindi ko sinasabing naabot ko na ang ganap na buhay. Ngunit ito ang ginagawa ko ngayon: Kinakalimutan ko na ang nakaraan at pinagsisikapan kong makamtan ang nasa hinaharap. 14Nagpapatuloy ako hanggang makamtan ko ang gantimpala na walang iba kundi ang pagtawag sa akin ng Diyos na makapamuhay sa langit sa pamamagitan ni Kristo Hesus.
15Tayong matibay ang pananampalataya ay magkaroon sana ng ganitong kaisipan. Ngunit kung hindi ganito ang pag-iisip ninyo, ipapaunawa ito sa inyo ng Diyos. 16Ang mahalaga ay patuloy nating sinusunod ang mga katotohanang natutunan na natin.
17Mga kapatid, tularan ninyo ako, at tularan din ninyo ang iba pang namumuhay nang tulad namin. 18Sapagkat marami ang namumuhay na kumukontra sa kahulugan ng kamatayan ni Kristo sa krus. Ilang ulit ko nang sinabi sa inyo noon pa ang tungkol dito, at ngayoʼy sinasabi kong muli na may kasamang luha. 19Kapahamakan ang kahihinatnan nila dahil dinidiyos nila ang kanilang tiyan.#3:19 ang kanilang tiyan: O ang hilig ng kanilang katawan. Ipinagmamalaki pa nila ang mga bagay na dapat sana nilang ikahiya, at wala silang iniisip kundi ang mga makamundong bagay. 20Ngunit para sa atin, ang langit ang tunay nating bayan. At mula roon, hinihintay natin nang may pananabik ang pagbabalik ng Tagapagligtas, ang Panginoong Hesu-Kristo. 21Sa pagdating niya, babaguhin niya ang mahihina at namamatay nating katawang lupa at gagawing tulad ng maluwalhati niyang katawan. Gagawin niya ito sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan niyang sumasakop sa lahat ng bagay.

Philippians 3

1 FOR THE rest, my brethren, delight yourselves in the Lord and continue to rejoice that you are in Him. To keep writing to you [over and over] of the same things is not irksome to me, and it is [a precaution] for your safety.
2 Look out for those dogs [Judaizers, legalists], look out for those mischief-makers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
3 For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances–
4 Though for myself I have [at least grounds] to rely on the flesh. If any other man considers that he has or seems to have reason to rely on the flesh and his physical and outward advantages, I have still more!
5 Circumcised when I was eight days old, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew [and the son] of Hebrews; as to the observance of the Law I was of [the party of] the Pharisees,
6 As to my zeal, I was a persecutor of the church, and by the Law's standard of righteousness (supposed justice, uprightness, and right standing with God) I was proven to be blameless and no fault was found with me.
7 But whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me, I have come to consider as [one combined] loss for Christ's sake.
8 Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),
9 And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.
10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]
11 That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].
12 Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.
13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
15 So let those [of us] who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions; and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.
16 Only let us hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that.
17 Brethren, together follow my example and observe those who live after the pattern we have set for you.
18 For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One).
19 They are doomed and their fate is eternal misery (perdition); their god is their stomach (their appetites, their sensuality) and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party.
20 But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await [the coming of] the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] Savior,
21 Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to and be like the body of His glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself.
