3 F or we are the circumcision, who worship by Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.

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

7 b ut what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

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

8 B ut surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

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,

12 N ot that I have already obtained, or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession, seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ.

14 I pursue, towards goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

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

20 f or our commonwealth has its existence in heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ Saviour,

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