FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice in Yahuah. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the circumcision of the flesh alone.
For we are the circumcision, which worship Elohiym in the ruach, and rejoice in Mashiach Yahusha, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Though 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:
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Yashar'el, of the tribe of Binyamiyn, an Ivriy of the Ivriym; as touching the Law, a Parashiy;
Concerning zeal, persecuting the called out assembly; touching the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless.
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Mashiach).
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Mashiach Yahusha my Adonai: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Mashiach,
And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Mashiach, the righteousness which is of Elohiym by faith:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
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 Mashiach Yahusha.
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,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Elohiym in Mashiach Yahusha.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, Elohiym shall reveal even this unto you.
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example.
(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 Mashiach):
Whose end is destruction, whose elohiym is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Adonai Yahusha Ha'Mashiach:
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.
