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 it is necessary.
1 RESTA, hermanos, que os gocéis en el Señor. A mí, á la verdad, no es molesto el escribiros las mismas cosas, y para vosotros es seguro.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
2 Guardaos de los perros, guardaos de los malos obreros, guardaos del cortamiento.
3 For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
3 Porque nosotros somos la circuncisión, los que servimos en espíritu á Dios, y nos gloriamos en Cristo Jesús, no teniendo confianza en la carne.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
4 Aunque yo tengo también de qué confiar en la carne. Si alguno parece que tiene de qué confiar en la carne, yo más:
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:
5 Circuncidado al octavo día, del linaje de Israel, de la tribu de Benjamín, Hebreo de Hebreos; cuanto á la ley, Fariseo;
6 According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
6 Cuanto al celo, perseguidor de la iglesia; cuanto á la justicia que es en la ley, irreprensible.
7 But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
7 Pero las cosas que para mí eran ganancias, helas reputado pérdidas por amor de Cristo.
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:
8 Y ciertamente, aun reputo todas las cosas pérdida por el eminente conocimiento de Cristo Jesús, mi Señor, por amor del cual lo he perdido todo, y téngolo por estiércol, para ganar á Cristo,
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:
9 Y ser hallado en él, no teniendo mi justicia, que es por la ley, sino la que es por la fe de Cristo, la justicia que es de Dios por la fe;
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
10 A fin de conocerle, y la virtud de su resurrección, y la participación de sus padecimientos, en conformidad á su muerte,
11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
11 Si en alguna manera llegase á la resurrección de los muertos.
12 Not as though I has 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.
12 No que ya haya alcanzado, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si alcanzo [aquello] para lo cual fuí también alcanzado de Cristo Jesús.
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,
13 Hermanos, yo mismo no hago cuenta de haber[lo] ya alcanzado; pero una cosa [hago]: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome á lo que está delante,
14 I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
14 Prosigo al blanco, al premio de la soberana vocación de Dios en Cristo Jesús.
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.
15 Así que, todos los que somos perfectos, esto [mismo] sintamos: y si otra cosa sentís, esto también os revelará Dios.
16 Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
16 Empero en aquello á que hemos llegado, vamos por la misma regla, sintamos una misma cosa.
17 Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
17 Hermanos, sed imitadores de mí, y mirad los que así anduvieren como nos tenéis por ejemplo.
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;
18 Porque muchos andan, de los cuales os dije muchas veces, y aun ahora [lo] digo llorando, [que son] enemigos de la cruz de Cristo:
19 Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.
19 Cuyo fin [será] perdición, cuyo dios es el vientre, y su gloria es en confusión; que sienten lo terreno.
20 But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
20 Mas nuestra vivienda es en los cielos; de donde también esperamos al Salvador, al Señor Jesucristo;
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.
21 El cual transformará el cuerpo de nuestra bajeza, para ser semejante al cuerpo de su gloria, por la operación con la cual puede también sujetar á sí todas las cosas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Dejection and care, whenever they strain the soul beyond due measure, bereave it of its native force. And therefore Paul relieves the Philippians, who were in great despondency, and they were in despondency because they did not know how matters were with Paul; they were in despondency because they thought that it was already over with him, because of the …

Of which resurrection the apostle speaks in the Epistle to the Philippians: "Having been made conformable to His death, if by any means I might attain to the resurrection which is from the dead." In what other mortal flesh, therefore, can life be understood as being manifested, unless in that substance which is also put to death on account of …
We then were conversing alone very pleasantly; and, "forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before," we were seeking between ourselves in the presence of the Truth, which Thou art, of what nature the eternal life of the saints would be, which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into …

Yet they were at least ashamed when they were naked, but ye take a pride in it; "having," according to that saying of the apostle, "your glory in your shame." How then will thy wife thenceforward look upon thee, when thou art returned from such wickedness?

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord alway; again I will say, Rejoice: for your redemption hath drawn nigh, and the heavenly host of the Angels is waiting for your salvation.
