1 أَخِيرًا يَا إِخْوَتِي، ٱفْرَحُوا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. كِتَابَةُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَتْ عَلَيَّ ثَقِيلَةً، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَهِيَ مُؤَمِّنَةٌ. 2 اُنْظُرُوا ٱلْكِلَابَ. ٱنْظُرُوا فَعَلَةَ ٱلشَّرِّ. ٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْقَطْعَ. 3 لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْخِتَانَ، ٱلَّذِينَ نَعْبُدُ ٱللهَ بِٱلرُّوحِ، وَنَفْتَخِرُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَلَا نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ. 4 مَعَ أَنَّ لِي أَنْ أَتَّكِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ أَيْضًا. إِنْ ظَنَّ وَاحِدٌ آخَرُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ فَأَنَا بِٱلْأَوْلَى. 5 مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْخِتَانِ مَخْتُونٌ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ، مِنْ جِنْسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، عِبْرَانِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ. مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَرِّيسِيٌّ. 6 مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ: مُضْطَهِدُ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ. 7 لَكِنْ مَا كَانَ لِي رِبْحًا، فَهَذَا قَدْ حَسِبْتُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ خَسَارَةً. 8 بَلْ إِنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَيْضًا خَسَارَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ فَضْلِ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّي، ٱلَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ خَسِرْتُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَأَنَا أَحْسِبُهَا نُفَايَةً لِكَيْ أَرْبَحَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، 9 وَأُوجَدَ فِيهِ، وَلَيْسَ لِي بِرِّي ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي بِإِيمَانِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلْبِرُّ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ. 10 لِأَعْرِفَهُ، وَقُوَّةَ قِيَامَتِهِ، وَشَرِكَةَ آلَامِهِ، مُتَشَبِّهًا بِمَوْتِهِ، 11 لَعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ إِلَى قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ. 12 لَيْسَ أَنِّي قَدْ نِلْتُ أَوْ صِرْتُ كَامِلًا، وَلَكِنِّي أَسْعَى لَعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ أَدْرَكَنِي أَيْضًا ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ. 13 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، أَنَا لَسْتُ أَحْسِبُ نَفْسِي أَنِّي قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ. وَلَكِنِّي أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: إِذْ أَنَا أَنْسَى مَا هُوَ وَرَاءُ وَأَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مَا هُوَ قُدَّامُ، 14 أَسْعَى نَحْوَ ٱلْغَرَضِ لِأَجْلِ جَعَالَةِ دَعْوَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعُلْيَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. 15 فَلْيَفْتَكِرْ هَذَا جَمِيعُ ٱلْكَامِلِينَ مِنَّا، وَإِنِ ٱفْتَكَرْتُمْ شَيْئًا بِخِلَافِهِ فَٱللهُ سَيُعْلِنُ لَكُمْ هَذَا أَيْضًا. 16 وَأَمَّا مَا قَدْ أَدْرَكْنَاهُ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ بِحَسَبِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْقَانُونِ عَيْنِهِ، وَنَفْتَكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَيْنَهُ. 17 كُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِي مَعًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، وَلَاحِظُوا ٱلَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ هَكَذَا كَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَكُمْ قُدْوَةٌ. 18 لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يَسِيرُونَ مِمَّنْ كُنْتُ أَذْكُرُهُمْ لَكُمْ مِرَارًا، وَٱلْآنَ أَذْكُرُهُمْ أَيْضًا بَاكِيًا، وَهُمْ أَعْدَاءُ صَلِيبِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، 19 ٱلَّذِينَ نِهَايَتُهُمُ ٱلْهَلَاكُ، ٱلَّذِينَ إِلَهُهُمْ بَطْنُهُمْ وَمَجْدُهُمْ فِي خِزْيِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَكِرُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِيَّاتِ. 20 فَإِنَّ سِيرَتَنَا نَحْنُ هِيَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا أَيْضًا نَنْتَظِرُ مُخَلِّصًا هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، 21 ٱلَّذِي سَيُغَيِّرُ شَكْلَ جَسَدِ تَوَاضُعِنَا لِيَكُونَ عَلَى صُورَةِ جَسَدِ مَجْدِهِ، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِ ٱسْتِطَاعَتِهِ أَنْ يُخْضِعَ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

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.
