[3]For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh: |
| [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: |
[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, much more I: |

[6]Concerning zeal, I persecuted the Church: touching the righteousness which is in the Law, I was unrebukeable. |
| [7]But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. |
[7]But the things that were vantage unto me, the same I counted loss for Christ's sake. |
| [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, |
[8]Yea, doubtless I think all things but loss for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have counted all things loss, and do judge them to be dung, that I might win Christ, |
| [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: |
[9]And might be found in him, that is, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, even the righteousness which is of God through faith, |
| [10]That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; |
[10]That I may know him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable unto his death, |
| [11]If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. |
[11]If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead: |
| [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. |
[12]Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Jesus. |
| [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, |
[13]Brethren, I count not myself, that I have attained to it, but one thing I do: I forget that which is behind, and endeavor myself unto that which is before, |
| [14]I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. |
[14]And follow hard toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. |
| [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. |
[15]Let us therefore as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even the same unto you. |
| [16]Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. |
[16]Nevertheless, in that whereunto we are come, let us proceed by one rule, that we may mind one thing. |
| [17]Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. |
[17]Brethren, be followers of me, and look on them, which walk so, as ye have us for an ensample. |

[18]For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Cross of Christ: |
| [19]Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) |

[20]But our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Savior, even the Lord Jesus Christ, |
| [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. |
