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;  
10 that I may know Him and the apower of His resurrection, and bthe fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,  
11 if, by any means, I may aattain to the resurrection from the dead.  

Pressing Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already aattained, or am already bperfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have1 apprehended; but one thing I do, aforgetting those things which are behind and breaching forward to those things which are ahead,  
14 aI press toward the goal for the prize of bthe upward call of God in Christ Jesus.  
15 Therefore let us, as many as are amature, bhave this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, cGod will reveal even this to you.  
16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already1 attained, alet us walk bby the same rule, let us be of the same mind.  

Our Citizenship in Heaven

17 Brethren, ajoin in following my example, and note those who so walk, as byou have us for a pattern.  
18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are athe enemies of the cross of Christ:  
19 awhose end is destruction, bwhose god is their belly, and cwhose glory is in their shame—dwho set their mind on earthly things.  
20 For aour citizenship is in heaven, bfrom which we also ceagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,  
21 awho will transform our lowly body that it may be bconformed to His glorious body, caccording to the working by which He is able even to dsubdue all things to Himself.
