Philippians 3:1

Finally, my [a]fellow believers, continue to rejoice and delight in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

And that’s about it, friends. Be glad in God!I don’t mind repeating what I have written in earlier letters, and I hope you don’t mind hearing it again. Better safe than sorry—so here goes. 2-6 Steer clear of the barking dogs, those religious busybodies, all bark and no bite. All they’re interested in is appearances—knife-happy circumcisers, I call them. The real believers are the ones the Spirit of God leads to work away at this ministry, filling the air with Christ’s praise as we do it. We couldn’t carry this off by our own efforts, and we know it—even though we can list what many might think are impressive credentials. You know my pedigree: a legitimate birth, circumcised on the eighth day; an Israelite from the elite tribe of Benjamin; a strict and devout adherent to God’s law; a fiery defender of the purity of my religion, even to the point of persecuting the church; a meticulous observer of everything set down in God’s law Book. 7-9 The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I’m tearing up and throwing out with the trash—along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant—dog dung. I’ve dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him. I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ—God’s righteousness. 10-11 I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it. Focused on the Goal12-14 I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. 15-16 So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it. 17-19 Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I’ve warned you of them many times; sadly, I’m having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ’s Cross. But easy street is a dead-end street. Those who live there make their bellies their gods; belches are their praise; all they can think of is their appetites. 20-21 But there’s far more to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He’ll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

Amados hermanos, suceda lo que suceda, regocijaos en el Señor. Yo no me canso de repetir esto en mis cartas, y a vosotros os da seguridad.

Further, my brothers and sisters, be joyful because you belong to the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write about some important matters to you again. If you know about them, you will have a safe path to follow.

Further, my brothers and sisters, 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.

Further, my brothers and sisters, 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.

Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters,[a] rejoice in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you these things, and I do it to safeguard your faith.

Eyi nti, me Paulo a mo Amanamanmufo nti, meyɛ Kristo Yesu deduani no, bɔ mpae srɛ Onyankopɔn.

وَبَعْدُ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، افْرَحُوا فِي الرَّبِّ. لَا يُزْعِجُنِي أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ بِالأُمُورِ نَفْسِهَا، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَجْعَلُكُمْ فِي مَأْمَنٍ.

Karon, mga igsoon ko kang Cristo, paglipay kamo diha sa Ginoo! Dili ako pul-an sa paghisgot pag-usab niini kaninyo, kay alang man kini sa inyong kaayohan.

A tak ať se děje cokoliv, bratři, radujte se z toho, že patříte Bohu. Musím to opakovat znovu a znovu, protože v té radosti je vaše síla.

Venner, glæd jer over at tilhøre Herren! Jeg gentager gerne mig selv for at slå det helt fast for jer.

Was auch immer geschehen mag, meine lieben Brüder und Schwestern: Freut euch, weil ihr zum Herrn gehört! Ich werde nicht müde, euch immer wieder dasselbe zu sagen; weiß ich doch, dass es euch Gewissheit gibt.

Por lo demás, hermanos míos, alegraos en el Señor. Para mí no es molestia volver a escribiros lo mismo, y a vosotros os da seguridad.

Por lo demás, hermanos míos, alégrense en el Señor. Para mí no es molestia volver a escribirles lo mismo, y a ustedes les da seguridad.

Enfin, mes frères et sœurs, réjouissez-vous de tout ce que le Seigneur est pour vous. Il ne m’en coûte pas de me répéter en vous écrivant et, pour vous, cela ne peut que contribuer à votre sécurité.

אחים יקרים, יקרה אשר יקרה, שמחו תמיד באדוננו! אף פעם לא אחדל להזכיר לכם, וטוב שתשמעו זאת פעמים רבות.

Karon, mga utod ko kay Cristo, magkalipay kamo sa Ginoo! Wala ako ginatak-i sa pagsambit sini liwat sa inyo, kay para gid ini sa inyo kaayuhan.

I na koncu, draga braćo, radujte se u Gospodinu. Meni ne dodija pisati vam stalno isto, a za vas je sigurnije.

Qualsiasi cosa accada, cari fratelli, siate felici, perché siete uniti al Signore. Non mi stancherò mai di dirvelo ed anche a voi farà bene sentirvelo ripetere. Attenzione ai falsi maestri

愛する皆さん。どんなことが起ころうと、主にあって喜びなさい。このように何度も言いますが、それを私はめんどうとは思いませんし、あなたがたも聞かされたほうがいいのです。 目標を目指して努力する

형제 여러분, 마지막으로 말합니다. 주님 안에서 기뻐하십시오. 여러분에게 같은 말을 다시 쓰는 것이 내게는 귀찮은 일이 아닙니다. 이렇게 하는 것이 오히려 여러분에게 안전합니다.

Nå vil jeg, kjære søsken, oppfordre dere til å glede dere over fellesskapet med Herren Jesus. Jeg vil minne dere om noe dere allerede har hørt tidligere. Det er ikke noe ekstra bry for meg, og det er en trygghet for dere at sannheten står fast.

Maar wat er ook gebeurt, broeders en zusters, wees blij in de Here. Ik word niet moe dit telkens weer te zeggen en voor u is het goed dit keer op keer te horen.

Moi przyjaciele, cieszcie się z tego, że należycie do Pana! Wiem, że się powtarzam, ale czynię to celowo, dla waszego dobra.

Finalmente, meus irmãos, alegrem-se no Senhor! Escrever-lhes de novo as mesmas coisas não é cansativo para mim e é uma segurança para vocês.

Haja pois o que houver, meus irmãos, tenham alegria no Senhor. É verdade que estou sempre a dizer-vos a mesma coisa, mas não me importo, pois isso representa uma segurança para vocês.

Huauqui, panicuna, Apunchij Jesusmanta cushicuichij. Ñucaca, cancunaman chaillatataj cutin quillcanataca, mana shaicunichu. Cancunapajpish, chaillatataj cutin uyanaca allimari.

În cele din urmă, fraţii mei, bucuraţi-vă în Domnul! Mie nu-mi este greu să vă scriu aceleaşi lucruri, iar vouă vă dau siguranţă.

Наконец, братья, радуйтесь, будучи верующими в Повелителя! Мне не трудно писать об этом ещё и ещё раз, потому что для вас это будет надёжней.

A tak nech sa deje čokoľvek, radujte sa v Pánovi. Musím to opakovať znova a znova, lebo v tej radosti je vaša sila.

Och så, mina syskon, gläd er i Herren! Det är inget besvär för mig att återigen skriva om samma sak, och det är en trygghet för er.

Hatimaye ndugu zangu, furahini katika Bwana. Mimi sichoki kuwaandikieni mambo yale yale niliyokwisha waandikia kwa maana najua kwamba yatakuwa ni kinga kwenu.

สุดท้ายนี้พี่น้องทั้งหลาย จงชื่นชมยินดีในองค์พระผู้เป็นเจ้า! ไม่ลำบากสำหรับข้าพเจ้าเลยที่จะเขียนเรื่องเดียวกันถึงท่านอีก ทั้งสิ่งนี้ยังเป็นการป้องกันท่านด้วย

弟兄姊妹，你们要靠主喜乐！我再把这些事写给你们，对我来说并不麻烦，对你们却有好处。

弟 兄 们 ， 我 还 有 话 说 ， 你 们 要 靠 主 喜 乐 。 我 把 这 话 再 写 给 你 们 ， 於 我 并 不 为 难 ， 於 你 们 却 是 妥 当 。
