Philippians 3

Uostalom, braćo moja, radujte se u Gospodinu! Pisati vam jedno te isto meni nije dosadno, a za vas je sigurnije.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Čuvajte se tih pasa, čuvajte se tih opakih radnika, čuvajte se te osakaćenosti!

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

Jer mi smo obrezanje, mi koji u Duhu Božjemu obavljamo bogoslužje i dičimo se Kristom Isusom, a ne pouzdajemo se u tijelo,

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

iako bih se ja mogao pouzdati i u tijelo. Smatra li tko drugi da se može uzdati u tijelo, ja još više:

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

obrezan osmog dana, od roda sam Izraelova, plemena Benjaminova, Hebrej od Hebreja; po Zakonu farizej,

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

po revnosti progonitelj Crkve, po pravednosti zakonskoj besprijekoran.

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Ali što mi god bijaše dobitak, to poradi Krista smatram gubitkom.

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Štoviše, čak sve gubitkom smatram zbog onoga najizvrsnijeg, zbog spoznanja Isusa Krista, Gospodina mojega, radi kojega sve izgubih i otpadom smatram: da Krista steknem

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

i u njemu se nađem - ne svojom pravednošću, onom od Zakona, nego pravednošću po vjeri u Krista, onom od Boga, na vjeri utemeljenoj -

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

da upoznam njega i snagu uskrsnuća njegova i zajedništvo u patnjama njegovim,

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

ne bih li kako, suobličen smrti njegovoj, prispio k uskrsnuću od mrtvih.

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Ne kao da sam već postigao ili dopro do savršenstva, nego - hitim ne bih li kako dohvatio jer sam i zahvaćen od Krista.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Braćo, ja nipošto ne smatram da sam već dohvatio. Jedno samo: što je za mnom, zaboravljam, za onim što je preda mnom, prežem,

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

k cilju hitim, k nagradi višnjeg poziva Božjeg u Kristu Isusu.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Koji smo god zreli, ovako mislimo! I ako što drukčije mislite, Bog će vam ovako objaviti.

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Samo, držimo se onoga do čega smo stigli!

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Braćo! Nasljedovatelji moji budite i promatrajte one koji žive po uzoru koji imate u nama.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Jer često sam vam govorio, a sada i plačući govorim: mnogi žive kao neprijatelji križa Kristova.

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Svršetak im je propast, bog im je trbuh, slava u sramoti - jer misle na zemaljsko.

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Naša je pak domovina na nebesima, odakle iščekujemo Spasitelja, Gospodina našega Isusa Krista:

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

snagom kojom ima moć sve sebi podložiti on će preobraziti ovo naše bijedno tijelo i suobličiti ga tijelu svomu slavnomu.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
