Philippians 3:1

Philippians 3:1

All for Christ

1 Finally, my brethren, ^arejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

2 ^aBeware of dogs, beware of ^bevil workers, ^cbeware of the mutilation!

3 For we are ^athe circumcision, ^bwho worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

4 though ^aI also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I ^bmore so:

5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, ^aof the tribe of Benjamin, ^ba Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, ^ca Pharisee;

6 concerning zeal, ^apersecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But ^awhat things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss ^afor the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

9 and be found in Him, not having ^amy own righteousness, which is from the law, but ^bthat which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Philippians 3:1 Attaining to the Power of the Resurrection SUMMARY OF PHILIPPIANS 3: A Warning Against Judaizing Teachers. Paul's Grounds for Boasting in the Flesh. All Counted As Loss Compared with Christ. The Great Aim to Attain to the Glorious Resurrection. Pressing Towards the Prize of the High Calling. Enemies of the Cross. At the Resurrection Our Present Bodies Changed to the Likeness. of the Glorified Body of Christ. Rejoice in the Lord. See Philippians 2:5 4:4,10. There might be a little ground for rejoicing in earthly prospects, but they could rejoice in Christ and the blessed hope of the gospel. To write the same things to you. To repeat exhortations made before, either in person, or sent by messengers to them.
