Chapter 3
FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice in Yah the Eternally Self-Existing. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship Yah in the spirit, and rejoice in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Yisra’El, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the Torah, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; touching the righteousness which is in the Torah, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for the Anointing of the Spirit of Yah.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua my Adonay: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win the Anointed One of Yah,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Torah, but that which is through the Emunah of the Anointing of the Spirit of Yah, the righteousness which is of Yah by Emunah:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
11 If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already received, either were already perfect: but I press on, to lay hold of that for which also I am laid hold of The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have laid hold: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Yah in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you be otherwise minded, Yah shall reveal even this to you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the Stake of the Anointed One of Yah:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose mighty one is their belly, and whose Kavod is in their shame, who mind Earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in Heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
Important to note that Believers who fall away may end up being destroyed.
