1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

<>rejoice in the Lord

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

<>dogs, <>evil workers

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

<>v. 3, <>the circumcision, <>circumcision, <>worship God in the spirit, <>worship God, <>in Christ Jesus, <>have no confidence in the flesh, <>confidence

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

<>he might trust in the flesh

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

<>Israel, <>Benjamin, <>a Pharisee

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

<>zeal, <>persecuting the church, <>persecuting, <>church

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

<>vv. 7-8, <>gain

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

<>vv. 7-8, <>dung

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

<>not having mine own righteousness … but … the righteousness which is of God by faith, <>the righteousness which is of God by faith

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

<>That I may know … the fellowship of his sufferings, <>his resurrection, <>the fellowship of his sufferings

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

<>the resurrection of the dead, <>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.

<>perfect, <>follow after

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,

<>forgetting those things which are behind

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

<>v. 14

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.

<>perfect

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

<>whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

<>be followers together of me, <>mark

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:

<>the 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.)

<>whose God is their belly, <>who mind earthly things

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

<>conversation, <>the Saviour

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

<>shall change our vile body, <>subdue
