FILIPOARREI 3
1 Gainerakoan, senideok, poz zaitezte Jaunarengan.LEGEAREN ALDEKO PREDIKATZAILEEN KONTRA (3,1b—4,1)
Kristorengan uste on izan eta bizi
Zuei beti gauza berak idaztea niretzat ez da nekagarri; zuentzat, berriz, sendogarri da.t
2 Kontuz zakur horiekin! Kontuz erdainkuntza faltsuat proposatzen dizueten langile txar horiekin! 3 Izan ere, gu baikara egiaz erdainduakt, giza mailako gauzetant uste ona jarri gabe Jainkoa Espirituaren eraginez gurtzen dugunok eta Kristo Jesusengan harrotzen garenok. 4 Eta hori, nik ere badudalarik giza mailako gauzetan uste onat jartzeko arrazoia. Norbaitek gauza horietan uste ona jar dezakeela pentsatzen badu, nik gehiago: 5 jaio eta zortzi egunera erdaindut ninduten; jatorriz israeldarra naiz, Benjaminent leinukoa, hebrear-hebrearra; legea ulertzeko moduari dagokionez, fariseua;
6 Elizaren pertsegitzailet sutsua eta legeak agintzen duen guztia betetzen akatsik gabea izana.
7 Baina baliotsutzat nituen gauza guztiok, baliogabetzat jo nituen Kristorengatik. 8 Eta are gehiago, nire ustetan deusek ere ez du ezer balio Kristo Jesus ene Jauna ezagutzearen dohain paregabearen aldean. Kristorengatik dena galdu dut eta dena zaborraren pareko jotzen dut, hura irabaztearren 9 eta harekin bat eginik bizitzearren. Ez dut neurez salbatu nahi, legea betetzetikt datorren salbamenaz, alegia, Kristorengan sinestetik datorrenaz baizik, Jainkoak sinesmenaren bidez ematen didan salbamenazt, alegia. 10 Kristo nahi dut ezagutu, neuregan haren piztueraren indarra nahi dut sumatu eta haren oinazeetan partaidet izan, haren heriotza neuregan berrituz,
11 horrela nik ere hildakoen piztueran parte izango dudan itxaropenez.Helburua lortzeko lehia
12 Ez dut esan nahi hori lortu dudanik edota helmugara heldu naizenik; baina lehia bizian ari naiz ea eskuratzen dudan, Kristo Jesusek ni neu beretzat eskuratut ninduenez gero. 13 Senideok, ez dut uste dagoeneko hori iritsia dudanik; baina, atzean gelditu denaz ahazturik, aurrera jotzen dut
14 eta helbururantz lehiatzen naiz saria iristekot; horretara deitzen baitit Jainkoak goitik Kristo Jesusen bitartez.
15 Gu guztiok, kristau heldut garenok, jo dezagun bide horretatik; eta, bestela pentsatzen baduzue, Jainkoak argi ikusaraziko dizue horretan ere.
16 Nolanahi ere, euts diezaiogun tinko lortu dugun mailarit.
17 Senideok, izan zaitezte nire antzekot, eta begiratu guregan duzuen ereduaren arabera bizi direnei. 18 Izan ere, asko dira Kristoren gurutzearen etsait bezala bizi direnak. Askotan esan dizuet eta berriro diotsuet orain, malko artean. 19 Horrelakoen azkena hondamena da; sabela dute jainkot, beren lotsarietan harrotzen dira eta lurreko gauzetan bakarrik pentsatzen dute. 20 Gu, ordea, zeruko hiritart gara eta handik itxaro dugu salbatzailea: Jesu Kristo Jauna; 21 hark antzaldatuko du gure gorputz ezerez hau, bere gorputz aintzatsuaren irudikot eginez, gauza guztiak bere menpe jartzeko duen ahalmenari esker.
Philippians 3
True and False Righteousness
1 Finally, my brothers and sisters,t rejoice in the Lord! To write this again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
2 Beware of the dogs,s beware of the evil workers, beware of those who mutilate the flesh!t3 For we are the circumcision,t the ones who worship by the Spirit of God,s exult in Christ Jesus, and do not rely on human credentialst4 – though mine too are significant.t If someone thinks he has good reasons to put confidence in human credentials,t I have more:5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, from the people of Israel and the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. I lived according to the law as a Pharisee.s6 In my zeal for God I persecuted the church. According to the righteousness stipulated in the law I was blameless.7 But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ.8 More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things – indeed, I regard them as dung!t – that I may gain Christ,9 and be found in him, not because I have my own righteousness derived from the law, but because I have the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulnessts – a righteousness from God that is in factt based on Christ’st faithfulness.t10 My aim is to know him,t to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings,t and to be like him in his death,
11 and so, somehow,t to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Keep Going Forward
12 Not that I have already attained this – that is, I have not already been perfected – but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.t13 Brothers and sisters,t I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded:t Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,14 with this goal in mind,t I strive toward the prize of the upward call of Godt in Christ Jesus.15 Therefore let those of us who are “perfect” embrace this point of view.ts If you think otherwise, God will reveal to you the error of your ways.t
16 Nevertheless, let us live up to the standards that we have already attained.t
17 Be imitators of me,t brothers and sisters,t and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.18 For many live, about whom I have often told you, and now, with tears, I tell you that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.19 Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, they exult in their shame, and they think about earthly things.t20 But our citizenship is in heaven – and we also await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform these humble bodies of ourst into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.
