WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 En resumen: ¡Queridos amigos míos, deléitense en el Señor! Para mí no es una carga repetirles estas cosas, pues es para que estén a salvo.
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
2 ¡Cuidado con esos perros! ¡Cuidado con esos que hacen el mal! ¡Cuidado con esos mutiladores!
2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
3 pues somos nosotros quienes estamos realmente circuncidados, adorando por el Espíritu de Dios, poniendo nuestra confianza en Cristo Jesús. No tenemos nuestra fe puesta en las capacidades humanas,
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 porque si hubiera forma alguna de depender de la naturaleza humana, yo mismo tendría esa fe. Si hay quienes creen que tienen confianza en lo humano, pues yo los supero:
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 Fui circuncidado el octavo día, soy israelita de la tribu de Benjamín, un verdadero hebreo. En cuanto a la observancia legal, soy un Fariseo;
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 respecto a mi fervor religioso, fui perseguidor de la iglesia; y en lo que tiene que ver con el cumplimiento de la ley, soy irreprensible.
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 Pero en cierta manera tales cosas no me sirvieron para nada, y las considero como pérdida por Cristo.
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
8 En verdad considero todo como pérdida al compararlas con el gran beneficio que he ganado al conocer a Cristo Jesús, mi Señor. He menospreciado todas estas cosas por él, y las considero como basura, a fin de poder ganar a Cristo.
8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
9 Quiero ser uno con él, no ser justificado por lo que he hecho, o por lo que la ley demanda, sino por mi fe en él.
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,
10 ¡Quiero conocerlo verdaderamente, y al poder de su resurrección, tener parte en su sufrimiento y ser como él en su muerte,
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
11 y así, de alguna manera, seré parte de la resurrección de los muertos!
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 No es que ya lo haya alcanzado, ni que ya sea perfecto, pero corro para poder ganar lo que Cristo Jesús ganó por mí.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Amigos míos, no considero que ya lo haya ganado, pero este es mi único objetivo: quitando la vista de lo que está atrás, me dispongo a alcanzar lo que está frente a mí.
13 Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 Corro hacia la meta para ganar el premio de la invitación de Dios al cielo por medio de Cristo Jesús.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Los que de nosotros son maduros espiritualmente deben pensar de esta manera, y si ustedes piensan de manera diferente, entonces Dios les revelará esto.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
16 Simplemente necesitamos asegurarnos de seguir lo que ya hemos entendido.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
17 Amigos míos, sigan mi ejemplo, así como otros lo hacen, y observen la manera de comportarse, pues somos un modelo para ustedes.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 La manera como algunos viven los convierte en enemigos de la cruz de Cristo, tal como a menudo les he dicho a ustedes y se los repito aunque me causa tanto dolor que quiero llorar.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 Ellos terminarán completamente perdidos, pues estas personas tienen como “dios” sus propios deseos físicos y están orgullosos de cosas que deberían avergonzarles, pues piensan solo en las cosas de este mundo.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 Pero nuestra patria es el cielo, y esperamos un salvador, al Señor Jesucristo, que también vendrá de ella.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Él creará nuevamente nuestros defectuosos cuerpos humanos para que sean como su cuerpo glorioso, por medio del poder con el cual él controla todas las cosas.
21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

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).

  1. Commentary 3:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philippians (Homily X)

    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 …

  2. Quotes verse 3:11 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Preface)

    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 …

  3. Quotes verse 3:13 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IX, Chapters IX–X)

    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 …

  4. Quotes verse 3:19 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VI)

    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?
