Philippians 3

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

Where Do You Put Your Confidence?
1Finally, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! To keep writing the same things to you is not troublesome for me—but for you it is a safeguard.
2Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the mutilation.
3For it is we who are the circumcision, who worship by the Ruach Elohim and glory in Messiah Yeshua and have not depended on the flesh—
4though I myself might have confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he might depend on the flesh, I far more—
5circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel; from the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the Torah, a Pharisee;
6as for zeal, persecuting Messiah’s community; as for Torah righteousness, found blameless.
7But whatever things were gain to me, these I have considered as loss for the sake of the Messiah.
8More than that, I consider all things to be loss in comparison to the surpassing value of the knowledge of Messiah Yeshua my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things; and I consider them garbage in order that I might gain Messiah
9and be found in Him not having my righteousness derived from Torah, but one that is through trusting in Messiah—the righteousness from God based on trust.
10My aim is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the sharing of His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death—
11if somehow I might arrive at the resurrection from among the dead.
Pursuing the Goal
12Not that I have already obtained this or been perfected, but I press on if only I might take hold of that for which Messiah Yeshua took hold of me.
13Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself as having taken hold of this. But this one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14I press on toward the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua.
15Therefore let all who are mature have this attitude; and if you have a different attitude in anything, this also God will reveal to you.
16Nevertheless, let us live up to the same standard we have attained.
17Brothers and sisters, join in following my example and notice those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. (
18For many walk who are enemies of the cross of Messiah—I have often told you about them, and now I am even weeping as I tell you.
19Their end is destruction—their god is their belly and their glory is in their shame. They set their minds on earthly things.)
20For our citizenship is in heaven, and from there we eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
21He will transform this humble body of ours into the likeness of His glorious body, through the power that enables Him even to put all things in subjection to Himself.
