Por lo demás, hermanos míos, regocijaos en el Señor^a. A mí no me es molesto escribiros otra vez lo mismo, y para vosotros es motivo de seguridad. 2 Cuidaos de los perros^a, cuidaos de los malos obreros^b, cuidaos de la falsa circuncisión¹; 3 porque nosotros somos la verdadera circuncisión¹, que adoramos en el Espíritu de Dios^2a y nos gloriamos en Cristo Jesús^b, no poniendo la confianza en la carne, 4 aunque yo mismo podría confiar¹ también en la carne^a. Si algún otro cree tener motivo para confiar en la carne, yo mucho más: 5 circuncidado el octavo día^a, del linaje de Israel, de la tribu de Benjamín, hebreo de hebreos^b; en cuanto a la ley, fariseo^c; 6 en cuanto al celo, perseguidor de la iglesia^a; en cuanto a la justicia de¹ la ley^b, hallado irreprensible^c. 7 Pero todo lo que para mí era ganancia, lo he estimado como pérdida por amor de Cristo^a. 8 Y aún más, yo estimo como pérdida todas las cosas en vista del incomparable valor de conocer a¹ Cristo Jesús^a, mi Señor, por quien lo he perdido todo, y lo considero como basura a fin de ganar a Cristo, 9 y ser hallado en Él, no teniendo mi propia justicia derivada de la ley^a, sino la que es por la fe en Cristo, la justicia que procede de Dios sobre la base de la fe^b, 10 y conocerle a Él^a, el poder de su resurrección^b y la participación en sus padecimientos^c, llegando a ser como Él en su muerte^1d, 11 a fin de llegar^1a a la resurrección de entre los muertos. 12 No que ya lo haya alcanzado^a o que ya haya llegado a ser perfecto^b, sino que sigo adelante, a fin de poder¹ alcanzar^c aquello para lo cual también² fui alcanzado por Cristo Jesús^d. 13 Hermanos, yo mismo no considero haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando lo que queda atrás^a y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, 14 prosigo hacia la meta para obtener el premio^a del supremo llamamiento de Dios^b en Cristo Jesús^c. 15 Así que todos los que somos perfectos^1a, tengamos esta misma actitud; y si en algo tenéis una actitud distinta^b, eso también os lo revelará Dios^c; 16 sin embargo, continuemos viviendo¹ según la misma norma que hemos alcanzado^a.

17 Hermanos, sed imitadores míos^a, y observad a los que andan según el ejemplo^b que tenéis en nosotros. 18 Porque muchos andan como¹ os he dicho muchas veces, y ahora os lo digo aun llorando^a, que son enemigos de la cruz de Cristo^b, 19 cuyo fin es perdición, cuyo dios es su apetito^1a y cuya gloria está en su vergüenza^b, los cuales piensansolo en las cosas terrenales^c. 20 Porque nuestra ciudadanía¹ está en los cielos^a, de donde también ansiosamente esperamos a un Salvador, el Señor Jesucristo^b, 21 el cual transformará el cuerpo de nuestro estado de humillación¹ en conformidad^a al cuerpo de su gloria^2b, por el ejercicio del poder^c que tiene aun para sujetar todas las cosas a sí mismo^d.

Finally, my brethren, ^arejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

2 Beware of the ^adogs, beware of the ^bevil workers, beware of the ¹false circumcision; 3 for ^awe are the true ¹circumcision, who ^bworship in the Spirit of God and ^cglory in ^dChrist Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although ^aI myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 ^acircumcised the eighth day, of the ^bnation of Israel, of the ^ctribe of Benjamin, a ^dHebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, ^ea Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, ^aa persecutor of the church; as to the ^brighteousness which is in the Law, found ^cblameless.

7 But ^awhatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss ¹in view of the surpassing value of ^2aknowing ^bChrist Jesus my Lord, ³for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having ^aa righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, ^bthe righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may ^aknow Him and ^bthe power of His resurrection and ^1cthe fellowship of His sufferings, being ^dconformed to His death; 11 ¹in order that I may ^aattain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already ^aobtained it or have already ^bbecome perfect, but I press on ¹so that I may ^clay hold of that ²for which also I ^dwas laid hold of by ^eChrist Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: ^aforgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I ^apress on toward the goal for the prize of the ^bupward call of God in ^cChrist Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are ^1aperfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a ^bdifferent attitude, ^cGod will reveal that also to you; 16 however, let us keep ^1aliving by that same standard to which we have attained.

17 Brethren, ^ajoin in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the ^bpattern you have in us. 18 For ^amany walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even ^bweeping, that they are enemies of ^cthe cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their ^1aappetite, and whose ^bglory is in their shame, who ^cset their minds on earthly things. 20 For ^aour ¹citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly ^bwait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will ^atransform ¹the body of our humble state into ^bconformity with ²the ^cbody of His glory, ^dby the exertion of the power that He has even to ^esubject all things to Himself.

Finally, my brothers and sisters, ^arejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you.

2 Beware of the ^adogs, beware of the ^bevil workers, beware of the ¹false circumcision; 3 for ^awe are the true ¹circumcision, who ^bworship in the Spirit of God and take ^cpride in ^dChrist Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although ^aI myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: 5 ^acircumcised the eighth day, of the ^bnation of Israel, of the ^ctribe of Benjamin, a ^dHebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, ^ea Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, ^aa persecutor of the church; as to the ^brighteousness which is in the Law, found ^cblameless.

7 But ^awhatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss ¹in view of the surpassing value of ^2aknowing ^bChrist Jesus my Lord, ³for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having ^aa righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, ^bthe righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may ^aknow Him and ^bthe power of His resurrection and ^1cthe fellowship of His sufferings, being ^dconformed to His death; 11 if somehow I may ^aattain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already ^1agrasped it all or have already ^bbecome perfect, but I press on if I may also ^ctake hold of that ²for which I ^dwas even taken hold of by ^eChrist Jesus. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: ^aforgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I ^apress on toward the goal for the prize of the ^bupward call of God in ^cChrist Jesus. 15 Therefore, all who are ^1amature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a ^bdifferent attitude, ^cGod will reveal that to you as well; 16 however, let’s keep ^1aliving by that same standard to which we have attained.

17 Brothers and sisters, ^ajoin in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the ^bpattern you have in us. 18 For ^amany walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I ^bweep, that they are the enemies of ^cthe cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their ^1aappetite, and whose ^bglory is in their shame, who ^chave their minds on earthly things. 20 For ^aour ¹citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly ^bwait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will ^atransform the body of our lowly condition into ^bconformity with ¹His ^cglorious body, ^dby the exertion of the power that He has even to ^esubject all things to Himself.
