1 | Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe. | Php 4:8 2Co 13:11 Eph 6:10 1Th 4:1 1Pe 3:8 |
2 | Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision. | Pr 26:11 Isa 56:10 Isa 56:11 Mt 7:6 Mt 7:15 Mt 24:10 Ga 5:15 2Ti 4:14 2Ti 4:15 2Pe 2:22 Rev 22:15 |
3 | For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh; | Gn 17:5-11 Dt 10:16 Dt 30:6 Jer 4:4 Jer 9:26 Ro 2:25-29 Ro 4:11 Ro 4:12 Col 2:11 |
4 | though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more: | 2Co 11:18-22 |
5 | circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; | Gn 17:12 Lk 2:21 Jn 7:21-24 |
6 | concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless. | 2Sa 21:2 2Ki 10:16 Ac 21:20 Ro 10:2 Ga 1:13 Ga 1:14 |
7 | However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. | Php 3:4-6 Php 3:8-10 Gn 19:17 Gn 19:26 Jb 2:4 Pr 13:8 Pr 23:23 Mt 13:44-46 Mt 16:26 Lk 14:26 Lk 14:33 Lk 16:8 Lk 17:31-33 Ac 27:18 Ac 27:19 Ac 27:38 Ga 2:15 Ga 2:16 Ga 5:2-5 |
8 | Yes most assuredly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ | Nm 14:30 Ps 126:6 Lk 11:20 1Co 9:10 1Jn 2:19 |
9 | and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; | Gn 7:23 Dt 19:3 Dt 19:4 Heb 6:18 1Pe 3:19 1Pe 3:20 |
10 | that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death; | Php 3:8 1Jn 2:3 1Jn 2:5 |
11 | if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. | Ps 49:7 Ac 27:12 Ro 11:14 1Co 9:22 1Co 9:27 2Co 11:3 1Th 3:5 2Th 2:3 |
12 | Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. | Php 3:13 Php 3:16 Ps 119:5 Ps 119:173-176 Ro 7:19-24 Ga 5:17 1Ti 6:12 Jm 3:2 |
13 | Brothers, I don`t regard myself as yet having laid hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, | Php 3:8 Php 3:12 Php 1:18-21 Php 4:11-13 |
14 | I press on toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. | Lk 16:16 2Co 4:17 2Co 4:18 2Co 5:1 2Ti 4:7 2Ti 4:8 Rev 3:21 |
15 | Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, this God will also reveal that to you. | Ro 15:1 1Co 2:6 1Co 14:20 Col 1:28 Col 4:12 2Ti 3:17 Heb 5:14 Jm 1:4 1Jn 2:5 |
16 | Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind. | Ga 5:7 Heb 10:38 Heb 10:39 2Pe 2:10-20 Rev 2:4 Rev 2:5 Rev 3:3 |
17 | Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example. | Php 4:9 1Co 4:16 1Co 10:32 1Co 10:33 1Co 11:1 1Th 1:6 1Th 2:10-14 2Th 3:7 2Th 3:9 1Ti 4:12 Heb 13:7 1Pe 5:3 |
18 | For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ, | Isa 8:11 Dn 4:37 Ga 2:14 Eph 4:17 2Th 3:11 2Pe 2:10 Jud 1:13 |
19 | whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things. | Mt 25:41 Lk 12:45 Lk 12:46 2Co 11:15 2Th 2:8 2Th 2:12 Heb 6:6-8 2Pe 2:1 2Pe 2:3 2Pe 2:17 Jud 1:4 Jud 1:13 Rev 19:20 Rev 20:9 Rev 20:10 Rev 21:8 Rev 22:15 |
20 | For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ; | Php 1:18-21 Ps 16:11 Ps 17:15 Ps 73:24-26 Pr 15:24 Mt 6:19-21 Mt 19:21 Lk 12:21 Lk 12:32-34 Lk 14:14 2Co 4:18 2Co 5:1 2Co 5:8 Eph 2:6 Eph 2:19 Col 1:5 Col 3:1-3 Heb 10:34 Heb 10:35 1Pe 1:3 1Pe 1:4 |
21 | who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things to himself. | 1Co 15:42-44 1Co 15:48-54 |
