Philippians 3

1As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you [is] sure;
2look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
3for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
4though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;
5circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
6according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
7But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
8yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
9not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ — the righteousness that is of God by the faith,
10to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
12Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
13brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing — the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth —
14to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15As many, therefore, as [are] perfect — let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
16but to what we have come — by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
17become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us — a pattern;
18for many walk of whom many times I told you — and now also weeping tell — the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
19whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
20For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await — the Lord Jesus Christ —
21who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

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
