¹Ostatne, moji bratia, radujte sa v Pánovi. Písať vám to isté mne sa nelení, a vám je to na bezpek.

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.

²Vidzte psov, vidzte zlých robotníkov, vidzte obriezku.

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

³Lebo my sme obriezkou, ktorí Duchom Božím slúžime Bohu a chválime sa v Kristu Ježišovi a nedúfame v tele,

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

⁴hoci by som ja mohol dúfať i v tele. Ak si niekto iný myslí, že môže dúfať v tele, ja viac:

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:

⁵obrezaný ôsmeho dňa, z rodu Izraelovho, z pokolenia Benjaminovho, Hebrej z Hebrejov podľa zákona farizeus,

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

⁶podľa horlivosti prenasledovateľ cirkvi, podľa spravedlivosti, spravedlivosti v zákone, som bol bezúhonný.

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

⁷Ale to, čo mi bolo ziskom, položil som pre Krista za ztratu.

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

⁸Ale pravda aj pokladám všetko za ztratu pre svrchovanosť známosti Krista Ježiša, svojho Pána, pre ktorého som to všetko ztratil a pokladám to za smeti, aby som získal Krista

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

⁹a bol najdený v ňom nemajúci svojej vlastnej spravedlivosti, spravedlivosti zo zákona, ale majúci spravedlivosť skrze vieru Kristovu, spravedlivosť z Boha, založenú na viere,

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;

¹⁰aby som poznal jeho a moc jeho vzkriesenia a účasť na jeho utrpeniach usúpodobňovaný jeho smrti,

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

¹¹ak by som len nejako došiel ku vzkrieseniu mŕtvych.

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

¹²Nie že by som už bol dosiahol alebo že by som už bol dokonalý, ale sa ženiem, ak by som len aj mohol uchvátiť, k čomu som aj uchvátený Kristom Ježišom.

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.

¹³Bratia, ja nemyslím o sebe, že by som už bol uchvátil.

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,

¹⁴Ale jedno robím: na to, čo je za mnou, zabúdajúc a po tom, čo je predo mnou, sa vystierajúc ženiem sa za cieľom k víťaznému, k odmene horného povolania Božieho v Kristu Ježišovi.

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

¹⁵Tak tedy všetci, ktorí sme dokonalí, takto smýšľajme. A jestli o niečom ináče smýšľate, i to vám Bôh zjaví.

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

¹⁶Avšak k čomu sme už dospeli, v tom istom pravidle aj kráčať, to isté myslieť.

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

¹⁷Buďte mojimi spolunapodobňovateľmi, bratia, a pozorujte tých, ktorý tak chodia, ako máte príklad na nás.

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

¹⁸Lebo mnohí tak chodia o ktorých som vám často hovoril a teraz i plačúc hovorím, že sú nepriateľmi kríža Kristovho,

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

¹⁹ktorých koniec je zahynutie, ktorých bohom je brucho a sláva v ich hanebnosti, ktorí myslia na zemské veci.

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

²⁰Lebo naše občianstvo je v nebesiach, odkiaľ i Spasiteľa očakávame. Pána Ježiša Krista,

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

²¹ktorý premení telo nášho poníženia, aby bolo súpodobným telu jeho slávy podľa pôsobenia, ktorým si môže aj podriadiť všetky veci.

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.
