Philippians 3

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.

1 此外，弟兄姊妹，你们要靠主喜乐！我再把这些事写给你们，对我来说并不麻烦，对你们却是保障。

2 Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!

2 你们要提防那些犬类，提防那些作恶的人，提防那些鼓吹必须受割礼 才能得救的人。

3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—

3 因为真正受割礼的人是我们这些靠着上帝的灵敬拜、以基督耶稣为荣、不倚靠自身条件的人。

4 though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

4 其实我也可以靠自身的条件。如果别人觉得可以靠自身的条件，我更可以。

5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

5 我出生后第八天就受了割礼，我是以色列人，属于便雅悯支派，是地地道道的希伯来人。论守律法，我是法利赛人；

6 as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.

6 论热心，我曾经迫害教会；论律法要求的义，我是无可指责的。

7 But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.

7 但是为了基督，我从前以为有价值的，现在认为毫无价值。

8 More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

8 不但如此，我看万事都毫无价值，因为认识我主基督耶稣是最宝贵的。我为祂失去了一切，我把失去的一切视为粪土，好得到基督，

9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

9 与祂联合。我并非拥有源于律法的义，而是拥有信靠基督而得的义。这义从上帝而来，以信为基础。

10 I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,

10 我渴望认识基督和祂复活的大能，与祂一同受苦，甚至到死的地步 ，

11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

11 这样我无论如何都可以从死里复活。

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.

12 这并不是说我已经得到了或者纯全了，我还要竭力追求，或许可以达到基督耶稣要我达到的目标。

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,

13 弟兄姊妹，我并非以为自己已经得到了，我只专注一件事，就是忘记背后，努力向前，

14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.

14 直奔目标，要赢得上帝借着基督耶稣从天上呼召我去得的奖赏。

15 All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.

15 我们中间成熟的基督徒都应该有这样的看法。即使你们有什么不同看法，上帝也必让你们明白。

16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.

16 然而，我们长进到什么程度，就照着什么程度去行。

17 Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.

17 弟兄姊妹，你们要一同效法我，也要向那些以我们为榜样的人学习。

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.

18 我已经多次告诉你们，现在又流着泪提醒你们：有许多人行事为人与基督的十字架为敌。

19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.

19 他们的神就是自己的肚腹，他们以自己的羞耻为荣，只想着地上的事，他们的结局是灭亡。

20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

20 我们却是天上的国民，热切等候从天降临的救主，就是主耶稣基督。

21 who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

21 那时，祂要以降服万物的大能将我们这卑贱的躯体改变成像祂那样荣耀的身体。
