50:003:001 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.
50:003:002 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers,
beware of the
concision.
50:003:003 For we are the circumcision, which worship
God in the spirit,
and
rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the
flesh.
50:003:004 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:
50:003:005 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;
50:003:006 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church;
touching the
righteousness
which is in the law, blameless.
50:003:007 But what things were gain to me, those
I counted loss for
Christ.
50:003:008 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,
50:003:009 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:
50:003:010 That I may know him, and the power of his
resurrection, and
the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable
unto
his
death;
50:003:011 If by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the
dead.
50:003:012 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.
50:003:013 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,
50:003:014 I press toward the mark for the prize of
the high calling of
God
in Christ Jesus.
50:003:015 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.
50:003:016 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained,
let us walk by
the
same rule, let us mind the same thing.
50:003:017 Brethren, be followers together of me,
and mark them which
walk
so as ye have us for an ensample.
50:003:018 (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:
