Philippians Chapter 3
Ayo crew, vibe with the Lord! Spitting the same truth ain't no sweat for me, but it keeps you safe, no cap.
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.
Stay woke to the haters, peep the sus folks, and those who play games.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
We’re the real deal, worshiping God in the spirit, vibing in Christ Jesus, and trust in the flesh? Nah, fr.
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
I could flex my flesh confidence too, but if anyone thinks they got the sauce, I got more than that.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
Circumcised on the eighth day, straight outta Israel, from the Benjamin tribe, a Hebrew among Hebrews; Pharisee vibes on the rules.
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, {of} the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
Super passionate, persecuting the church; when it comes to the law, I was flawless, no cap.
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
But all that I thought was gains? I considered it losses for Christ.
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
For real, I see everything as loss just to experience the greatness of Christ Jesus, my Lord; lost it all, and it’s all garbage compared to winning Christ.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things {but} loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them {but} dung, that I may win Christ,
I wanna be found in Him, not flexing my own righteousness from the law, but the one that comes from faith in Christ, which is from God.
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
I wanna know Him, the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death.
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
If there’s any way I can vibe with the resurrection of the dead, I’m totally in.
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Not saying I’ve made it or that I’m flawless, but I’m pursuing it, trying to grab what Christ has grabbed me for.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Fam, I don’t think I’ve arrived, but I’m forgetting the past and stretching towards what’s ahead, periodt.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but {this} one thing {I do}, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I’m pushing for that prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus, it’s lit.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
So, if you're perfect, think this way; if not, God’s gonna drop some truth on you.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
But for real, let’s keep it aligned with what we already have, and stay on the same wavelength.
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Ayo, fam, let’s roll together, and check those who walk like we do, they’re the real ones.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
(Cause lots of folks are out here walking, and I’ve told you before, even shedding tears now, they’re the enemies of the cross of Christ.)
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, {that they are} the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Their end is straight destruction, their god is their appetite, and their glory is in their shame, focused on worldly stuff.
Whose end {is} destruction, whose God {is their} belly, and {whose} glory {is} in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Our vibes are in heaven; we’re looking for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, fr.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: {conversation...: or, we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven}
He’s gonna transform our busted bodies to be like His glorious body, ‘cause He can handle everything, for real.
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
