Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
1De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.
2Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!
2Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.
3For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
3Nos enim sumus circumcisio, qui spiritu servimus Deo, et gloriamur in Christo Jesu, et non in carne fiduciam habentes,
4though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
4quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,
5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
5circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israël, de tribu Benjamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem pharisæus,
6as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
6secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum justitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela.
7But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.
7Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.
8More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
8Verumtamen existimo omnia detrimentum esse propter eminentem scientiam Jesu Christi Domini mei: propter quem omnia detrimentum feci, et arbitror ut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,
9and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
9et inveniar in illo non habens meam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Jesu: quæ ex Deo est justitia in fide,
10I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,
10ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis ejus, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti ejus:
11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
11si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
12non quod jam acceperim, aut jam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Jesu.
13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
13Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem, quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,
14I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
14ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Jesu.
15All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.
15Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.
16Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.
16Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
17Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
17Imitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.
18For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
18Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:
19Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
19quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
20But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
20Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem exspectamus Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
21who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
21qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subjicere sibi omnia.
