¹Viimaks veel, mu vennad, rõõmustage Issandas! Üht ja sedasama teile kirjutada ei ole mulle tüütav, aga teid teeb see kindlaks.

¹Finally, 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.

²Vältige koeri, vältige halbu töölisi, vältige mahalõikamist!

²Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

³Sest ümberlõigatud oleme meie, kes Jumalat teenime vaimus ja kiitleme Kristusest Jeesusest ega looda päritolu peale,

³For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

⁴kuigi mul võiks olla lootust ka päritolu tõttu. Kui keegi teine arvab, et temal võib olla lootust päritolu tõttu, siis minul veel enam:

⁴though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

⁵ma olen ümber lõigatud kaheksandal päeval, olen Iisraeli soost, Benjamini suguharust, heebrea rahvast sündinud heebrea mees, Seaduse järgi variser,

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

⁶innukuse poolest koguduse tagakiusaja, Seadusest tuleneva õiguse poolest laitmatu.

⁶concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

⁷Kuid mis mulle oli kasuks, seda ma olen arvanud kahjuks Kristuse pärast.

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

⁸Jah, enamgi: ma pean kõike kahjuks Issanda Kristuse Jeesuse kõikeületava tunnetuse kõrval. Tema pärast olen ma minetanud kõik selle ja pean seda pühkmeiks, et saada kasuks Kristust

⁸Yes most certainly, 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 count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

⁹ja et mind leitaks tema seest ega oleks mul oma õigust, mis tuleb Seadusest, vaid see õigus, mis tuleb Kristusesse uskumisest, see, mille Jumal annab usu peale.

⁹and 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;

¹⁰Ma püüan ära tunda teda ja tema ülestõusmise väge ja tema kannatuste osadust, saades tema surma sarnaseks,

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

¹¹et ma kuidagi jõuaksin ülestõusmisele surnuist.

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

¹²Mitte et ma selle oleksin saanud või oleksin juba täiuslik, aga ma püüan kätte saada seda, mille pärast Kristus Jeesus on minu kätte saanud.

¹²Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

¹³Vennad, ma ei arva endast, et ma selle olen kätte saanud, ühte aga ma ütlen: Ma unustan kõik, mis on taga, ja sirutun eesoleva poole,

¹³Brothers, 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,

¹⁴ma püüdlen sihtmärgi poole, Jumala üleva kutsumise võiduhinna poole Kristuses Jeesuses.

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

¹⁵Kes meist on täiuslikud, mõtelgem just samal viisil, ent kui te mõtlete midagi teisiti, küll Jumal ilmutab teile ka selle.

¹⁵Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

¹⁶Ometi, sealt, kuhu oleme jõudnud, astugem edasi sama rada!

¹⁶Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.

¹⁷Vennad, võtke mind eeskujuks ja jälgige neid, kes elavad nõnda, nagu meie teile eeskujuks oleme.

¹⁷Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

¹⁸Sest paljud, kellest ma teile sagedasti olen rääkinud ning nüüd nuttes räägin, elavad Kristuse risti vaenlastena.

¹⁸For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

¹⁹Nende lõpp on hukatus, nende jumal on kõht ja nende au on nende häbis; nad mõtlevad maapealsetest asjadest.

¹⁹whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

²⁰Aga meie kodupaik asub taevas, kust me ka ootame Päästjat - Issandat Jeesust Kristust,

²⁰For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

²¹kes meie alanduse ihu muudab oma kirkuse ihu sarnaseks selle väe toimel, millega ta suudab ka alistada enesele kõik.

²¹who 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.
