Filipenses 3
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

El valor infinito de conocer a Cristo

3 Por lo demás, hermanos míos, regocíjense en el Señor(A). A mí no me es molesto escribirles otra vez lo mismo, y para ustedes es motivo de seguridad. 2 Cuídense de esos perros(B), cuídense de los malos obreros(C), cuídense de la falsa circuncisión[a].

3 Porque nosotros somos la verdadera circuncisión[b], que adoramos en el Espíritu de Dios[c](D) y nos gloriamos en Cristo Jesús(E), no poniendo la confianza en la carne, 4 aunque yo mismo podría confiar[d] también en la carne(F). Si algún otro cree tener motivo para confiar en la carne, yo mucho más: 5 circuncidado a los ocho días de nacer(G), del linaje de Israel, de la tribu de Benjamín, hebreo de hebreos(H); en cuanto a la ley, fariseo(I); 6 en cuanto al celo, perseguidor de la iglesia(J); en cuanto a la justicia de[e] la ley(K), hallado irreprensible(L). 7 Pero todo lo que para mí era ganancia, lo he estimado como pérdida por amor de Cristo(M).

8 Y aún más, yo estimo como pérdida todas las cosas en vista del incomparable valor de conocer a[f] Cristo Jesús(N), mi Señor. Por Él lo he perdido todo, y lo considero como basura a fin de ganar a Cristo, 9 y ser hallado en Él, no teniendo mi propia justicia derivada de la ley(O), sino la que es por la fe en Cristo[g], la justicia que procede de Dios sobre la base de la fe(P), 10 y conocerlo a Él(Q), el poder de Su resurrección(R) y la participación en Sus padecimientos(S), llegando a ser como Él en Su muerte[h](T), 11 a fin de llegar[i](U) a la resurrección de entre los muertos.

12 No es que ya lo haya alcanzado(V) o que ya haya llegado a ser perfecto(W), sino que sigo adelante, a fin de poder[j] alcanzar(X) aquello para lo cual también[k] fui alcanzado por Cristo Jesús(Y). 13 Hermanos, yo mismo no considero haberlo ya alcanzado. Pero una cosa hago: olvidando lo que queda atrás(Z) y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, 14 prosigo hacia la meta para obtener el premio(AA) del supremo llamamiento de Dios(AB) en Cristo Jesús(AC).

15 Así que todos los que somos perfectos[l](AD), tengamos esta misma actitud; y si en algo tienen una actitud distinta(AE), eso también se lo revelará Dios(AF). 16 Sin embargo, continuemos viviendo[m] según la misma norma que hemos alcanzado(AG).

La ciudadanía celestial

17 Hermanos, sean imitadores míos(AH), y observen a los que andan según el ejemplo(AI) que tienen en nosotros. 18 Porque muchos andan como[n] les he dicho muchas veces, y ahora se lo digo aun llorando(AJ), que son enemigos de la cruz de Cristo(AK), 19 cuyo fin es perdición, cuyo dios es su apetito[o](AL) y cuya gloria está en su vergüenza(AM), los cuales piensan solo en las cosas terrenales(AN).

20 Porque nuestra ciudadanía[p] está en los cielos(AO), de donde también ansiosamente esperamos a un Salvador, el Señor Jesucristo(AP), 21 el cual transformará el cuerpo de nuestro estado de humillación[q] en conformidad(AQ) al cuerpo de Su gloria[r](AR), por el ejercicio del poder(AS) que tiene aun para sujetar todas las cosas a Él mismo(AT).

The True Righteousness

3 In conclusion, my friends, be joyful in your union with the Lord. I don't mind repeating what I have written before, and you will be safer if I do so. 2 Watch out for those who do evil things, those dogs, those who insist on cutting the body. 3 It is we, not they, who have received the true circumcision, for we worship God by means of his Spirit and rejoice in our life in union with Christ Jesus. We do not put any trust in external ceremonies. 4 I could, of course, put my trust in such things. If any of you think you can trust in external ceremonies, I have even more reason to feel that way. 5 (A)I was circumcised when I was a week old. I am an Israelite by birth, of the tribe of Benjamin, a pure-blooded Hebrew. As far as keeping the Jewish Law is concerned, I was a Pharisee, 6 (B)and I was so zealous that I persecuted the church. As far as a person can be righteous by obeying the commands of the Law, I was without fault. 7 But all those things that I might count as profit I now reckon as loss for Christ's sake. 8 Not only those things; I reckon everything as complete loss for the sake of what is so much more valuable, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have thrown everything away; I consider it all as mere garbage, so that I may gain Christ 9 and be completely united with him. I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith. 10 All I want is to know Christ and to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings and become like him in his death, 11 in the hope that I myself will be raised from death to life.

Running toward the Goal

12 I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself. 13 Of course, my friends, I really do not[a] think that I have already won it; the one thing I do, however, is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. 14 So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above.

15 All of us who are spiritually mature should have this same attitude. But if some of you have a different attitude, God will make this clear to you. 16 However that may be, let us go forward according to the same rules we have followed until now.

17 (C)Keep on imitating me, my friends. Pay attention to those who follow the right example that we have set for you. 18 I have told you this many times before, and now I repeat it with tears: there are many whose lives make them enemies of Christ's death on the cross. 19 They are going to end up in hell, because their god is their bodily desires. They are proud of what they should be ashamed of, and they think only of things that belong to this world. 20 We, however, are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. 21 He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body, using that power by which he is able to bring all things under his rule.

New International Version

No Confidence in the Flesh

3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again,(A) and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs,(B) those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision,(C) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,(D) and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.(E)

If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised(F) on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,(G) of the tribe of Benjamin,(H) a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;(I) 6 as for zeal,(J) persecuting the church;(K) as for righteousness based on the law,(L) faultless.

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss(M) for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing(N) Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ(O) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,(P) but that which is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness(Q) that comes from God on the basis of faith.(R) 10 I want to know(S) Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings,(T) becoming like him in his death,(U) 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection(V) from the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,(W) but I press on to take hold(X) of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.(Y) 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(Z) and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on(AA) toward the goal to win the prize(AB) for which God has called(AC) me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Following Paul’s Example

15 All of us, then, who are mature(AD) should take such a view of things.(AE) And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.(AF) 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

17 Join together in following my example,(AG) brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.(AH) 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears,(AI) many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.(AJ) 19 Their destiny(AK) is destruction, their god is their stomach,(AL) and their glory is in their shame.(AM) Their mind is set on earthly things.(AN) 20 But our citizenship(AO) is in heaven.(AP) And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,(AQ) 21 who, by the power(AR) that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies(AS) so that they will be like his glorious body.(AT)

All for Christ

3 Finally, my brethren, (A)rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

2 (B)Beware of dogs, beware of (C)evil workers, (D)beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are (E)the circumcision, (F)who worship [a]God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 4 though (G)I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I (H)more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, (I)of the tribe of Benjamin, (J)a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, (K)a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, (L)persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But (M)what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss (N)for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having (O)my own righteousness, which is from the law, but (P)that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the (Q)power of His resurrection, and (R)the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may (S)attain[b] to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already (T)attained,[c] or am already (U)perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [d]apprehended; but one thing I do, (V)forgetting those things which are behind and (W)reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 (X)I press toward the goal for the prize of (Y)the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Therefore let us, as many as are (Z)mature, (AA)have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, (AB)God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already [e]attained, (AC)let us walk (AD)by the same [f]rule, let us be of the same mind.

Our Citizenship in Heaven

17 Brethren, (AE)join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as (AF)you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are (AG)the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 (AH)whose end is destruction, (AI)whose god is their belly, and (AJ)whose glory is in their shame—(AK)who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For (AL)our citizenship is in heaven, (AM)from which we also (AN)eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 (AO)who will transform our lowly body that it may be (AP)conformed to His glorious body, (AQ)according to the working by which He is able even to (AR)subdue all things to Himself.
