Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary.
1De cetero, fratres mei, gaudete in Domino. Eadem vobis scribere, mihi quidem non pigrum, vobis autem necessarium.
2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
2Videte canes, videte malos operarios, videte concisionem.
3For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having 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 might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
4quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne. Si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, ego magis,
5Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee:
5circumcisus octavo die, ex genere Israël, de tribu Benjamin, Hebræus ex Hebræis, secundum legem pharisæus,
6According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
6secundum æmulationem persequens Ecclesiam Dei, secundum justitiam, quæ in lege est, conversatus sine querela.
7But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.
7Sed quæ mihi fuerunt lucra, hæc arbitratus sum propter Christum detrimenta.
8Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, 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 may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in 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,
10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
10ad cognoscendum illum, et virtutem resurrectionis ejus, et societatem passionum illius: configuratus morti ejus:
11If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
11si quo modo occurram ad resurrectionem, quæ est ex mortuis:
12Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.
12non quod jam acceperim, aut jam perfectus sim: sequor autem, si quomodo comprehendam in quo et comprehensus sum a Christo Jesu.
13Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,
13Fratres, ego me non arbitror comprehendisse. Unum autem, quæ quidem retro sunt obliviscens, ad ea vero quæ sunt priora, extendens meipsum,
14I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
14ad destinatum persequor, ad bravium supernæ vocationis Dei in Christo Jesu.
15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
15Quicumque ergo perfecti sumus, hoc sentiamus: et si quid aliter sapitis, et hoc vobis Deus revelabit.
16Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
16Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
17Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
17Imitatores mei estote, fratres, et observate eos qui ita ambulant, sicut habetis formam nostram.
18For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;
18Multi enim ambulant, quos sæpe dicebam vobis (nunc autem et flens dico) inimicos crucis Christi:
19Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.
19quorum finis interitus: quorum Deus venter est: et gloria in confusione ipsorum, qui terrena sapiunt.
20But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
20Nostra autem conversatio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatorem exspectamus Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
21Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
21qui reformabit corpus humilitatis nostræ, configuratum corpori claritatis suæ, secundum operationem, qua etiam possit subjicere sibi omnia.
