| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
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 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
|
|
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
|
11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from 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 that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
|
|
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 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
|
|
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
|
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward 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 All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.
|
|
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained , let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
|
16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
|
|
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
|
17 Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.
|
|
18 (For many walk , of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping , that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
|
18 For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as 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.)
|
19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
|
|
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
|
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
