¹Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.

¹ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܚܕܘ ܒܡܪܢ ܗܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܗܢܝܢ ܕܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܡܙܗܪܢ ܀

²Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:

²ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܦܥܠܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܦܤܩ ܒܤܪܐ ܀

³for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

³ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܦܠܚܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܡܫܬܒܗܪܝܢܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܥܠ ܒܤܪܐ ܀

⁴though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

⁴ܟܕ ܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܬܘܟܠܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܒܤܪܐ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܤܒܪ ܕܬܘܟܠܢܗ ܒܒܤܪܐ ܗܘ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗ ܐܢܐ ܀

⁵circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

⁵ܓܙܝܪܐ ܒܪ ܬܡܢܝܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܒܪ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܦܪܝܫܝܐ ܀

⁶as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

⁶ܒܛܢܢܐ ܪܕܘܦܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܀

⁷Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

⁷ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܗܘܝ ܠܝ ܚܘܤܪܢܐ ܚܫܒܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁸Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,

⁸ܐܦ ܚܫܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܘܤܪܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܚܤܪܬ ܘܐܝܟ ܙܒܠܐ ܚܫܒܬ ܕܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܪ ܀

⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

⁹ܘܐܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ ܟܕ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܝ ܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹⁰that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

¹⁰ܕܒܗ ܐܫܬܘܕܥ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܚܝܠܐ ܕܩܝܡܬܗ ܘܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܚܫܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܕܡܐ ܒܡܘܬܗ ܀

¹¹if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.

¹¹ܕܠܡܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܐܡܛܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

¹²Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

¹²ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܢܤܒܬ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܐܬܓܡܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܪܗܛ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܕܪܟ ܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܕܪܟܢܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹³Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

¹³ܐܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܪܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܕܪܟܬ ܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܒܤܬܪܝ ܛܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܩܕܡܝ ܡܫܬܘܫܛ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁴I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ܘܪܗܛ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܝܫܐ ܕܐܤܒ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܕܩܪܝܢܐ ܕܠܥܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁵Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:

¹⁵ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܬܪܥܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܗܕܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܓܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁶only, whereunto we have attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.

¹⁶ܒܪܡ ܠܗܕܐ ܕܡܛܝܢ ܒܚܕ ܫܒܝܠܐ ܢܫܠܡ ܘܒܚܕܐ ܐܘܝܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁷Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.

¹⁷ܐܬܕܡܘ ܒܝ ܐܚܝ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܬܒܩܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܒܢ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܀

¹⁸For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

¹⁸ܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܒܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܙܩܝܦܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁹whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

¹⁹ܕܚܪܬܗܘܢ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܟܪܤܗܘܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗܘܢ ܒܗܬܬܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܬܪܥܝܬܗܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܀

²⁰For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

²⁰ܕܝܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܠܚܢܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܤܟܝܢܢ ܠܡܚܝܢܐ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²¹who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

²¹ܕܗܘ ܢܚܠܦ ܦܓܪܐ ܕܡܘܟܟܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܗ ܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܟܠ ܐܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܀
