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

2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision (those who believe circumcision makes on righteous or saves). 3For we are the circumcision, which serve in [the ] Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father, and rejoice in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation], and have no confidence in the flesh. 4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], [of] the tribe of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], an ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew] of the ‘Evri’ot [Hebrew] ; as touching the law, a Pharisee [separatist]; 6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Moshiach [Messiah]. 8Yes doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation]my Lord - Kurios: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Moshiach [Messiah], 9And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Moshiach [Messiah], the righteousness which is of God-The Father by faith: 10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

12Not 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 Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation]. 13Brethren, 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, 14I press toward the Mark [a defense] for the prize of the high calling of God-The Father in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation]. 15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you^2f be otherwise minded, God-The Father shall reveal even this unto you. 16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

17Brethren, be followers together of me, and Mark [a defense] them which walk so as you^2f have us for an example. 18(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the stake (cross) of Moshiach [Messiah]: 19Whose end [is] destruction, whose God-The Father [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20For our citizenship is in heaven; from what place also we look for the Saviour, the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]: 21Who 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.
