The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 de cetero fratres mei gaudete in Domino eadem vobis scribere mihi quidem non pigrum vobis autem necessarium
1
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
2 videte canes videte malos operarios videte concisionem
2
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!
3 nos enim sumus circumcisio qui spiritu Deo servimus et gloriamur in Christo Iesu et non in carne fiduciam habentes
3
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,
4 quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne si quis alius videtur confidere in carne ego magis
4
though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:
5 circumcisus octava die ex genere Israhel de tribu Beniamin Hebraeus ex Hebraeis secundum legem Pharisaeus
5
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 secundum aemulationem persequens ecclesiam Dei secundum iustitiam quae in lege est conversatus sine querella
6
concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 sed quae mihi fuerunt lucra haec arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta
7
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
8 verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Iesu Christi Domini mei propter quem omnia detrimentum feci et arbitror ut stercora ut Christum lucri faciam
8
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for 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 et inveniar in illo non habens meam iustitiam quae ex lege est sed illam quae ex fide est Christi quae ex Deo est iustitia in fide
9
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 ad agnoscendum illum et virtutem resurrectionis eius et societatem passionum illius configuratus morti eius
10
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
11 si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem quae est ex mortuis
11
if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 non quod iam acceperim aut iam perfectus sim sequor autem si conprehendam in quo et conprehensus sum a Christo Iesu
12
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
13 fratres ego me non arbitror conprehendisse unum autem quae quidem retro sunt obliviscens ad ea vero quae sunt in priora extendens me
13
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14 ad destinatum persequor ad bravium supernae vocationis Dei in Christo Iesu
14
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 quicumque ergo perfecti hoc sentiamus et si quid aliter sapitis et hoc vobis Deus revelabit
15
Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.
16 verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus et in eadem permaneamus regula
16
Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
17 imitatores mei estote fratres et observate eos qui ita ambulant sicut habetis formam nos
17
Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.
18 multi enim ambulant quos saepe dicebam vobis nunc autem et flens dico inimicos crucis Christi
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:
19 quorum finis interitus quorum deus venter et gloria in confusione ipsorum qui terrena sapiunt
19
whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.
20 nostra autem conversatio in caelis est unde etiam salvatorem expectamus Dominum Iesum Christum
20
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostrae configuratum corpori claritatis suae secundum operationem qua possit etiam subicere sibi omnia
21
who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
