1 As to the rest, my brothers, rejoice in the LORD; indeed, [it] is not tiresome to me to write to you the same things, and for you [is] sure.
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 Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!
2 Guardaos de los perros, guardaos de los malos obreros, guardaos del cortamiento.
3 For we are the circumcision, who are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in 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 also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in 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 circumcision on the eighth day! Of the race of Israel! Of the tribe of Benjamin! A Hebrew of Hebrews! According to 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 Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!
6 Cuanto al celo, perseguidor de la iglesia; cuanto á la justicia que es en la ley, irreprensible.
7 But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the Christ;
7 Pero las cosas que para mí eran ganancias, helas reputado pérdidas por amor de Cristo.
8 yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
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 not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by 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 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed 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 anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
11 Si en alguna manera llegase á la resurrección de los muertos.
12 Not that I already obtained, or have already been perfected, but I pursue, if I also may lay hold of that for which I was also laid hold of 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 brothers, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold [of it], but one thing [I do]—indeed forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth to the things 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 pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
14 Prosigo al blanco, al premio de la soberana vocación de Dios en Cristo Jesús.
15 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God 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 but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;
16 Empero en aquello á que hemos llegado, vamos por la misma regla, sintamos una misma cosa.
17 together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;
17 Hermanos, sed imitadores de mí, y mirad los que así anduvieren como nos tenéis por ejemplo.
18 for many walk of whom I told you [about] many times—and now also weeping tell—[they are] the enemies of the Cross of the 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] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.
19 Cuyo fin [será] perdición, cuyo dios es el vientre, y su gloria es en confusión; que sienten lo terreno.
20 For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—
20 Mas nuestra vivienda es en los cielos; de donde también esperamos al Salvador, al Señor Jesucristo;
21 who will transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working of His power, even to subject all things to 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.
