The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 57: Philippians: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Philippians
3:1. As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same
things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you is necessary.
3:2. Beware of dogs: beware of evil workers: beware of the concision.
3:3. For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God and glory in
Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
3:4. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other
thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more:
3:5. Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the
tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews. According to the law, a
Pharisee:
3:6. According to zeal, persecuting the church of God: According to the
justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
3:7. But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss
for Christ.
3:8. Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent
knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of
all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ.
3:9. And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the
law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God:
justice in faith.
3:10. That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the
fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death,
3:11. If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the
dead.
3:12. Not as though I had already attained, or were already perfect: but
I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also
apprehended by Christ Jesus.
3:13. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing
I do: Forgetting the things that are behind and stretching forth myself
to those that are before,
3:14. I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of
God in Christ Jesus.
3:15. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if
in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you,
3:16. Nevertheless, whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind,
let us also continue in the same rule.
3:17. Be ye followers of me, brethren: and observe them who walk so as
you have our model.
3:18. For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you
weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:
3:19. Whose end is destruction: whose God is their belly: and whose
glory is in their shame: who mind earthly things.
3:20. But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for
the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
3:21. Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of
his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue
all things unto himself.
Philippians Chapter 4
He exhorts them to perseverance in all good and acknowledges their
charitable contributions to him.
4:1. Therefore my dearly beloved brethren and most desired, my joy and
my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
