3–BOB
Masihni tanib–bilishdan afzalroq hech narsa yoʻq
1 Endi esa, ey birodarlarim, Rabbimiz Iso tufayli shodlaning! Sizlarga bir xil narsalarni yozaversam ham zerikmayman, yozganlarim sizlarni har xil balolardan asraydi. 2 Itday boʻlganlardan, yovuzlik qiladiganlardan, tanasini kesadiganlardan ehtiyot boʻlinglar! 3 Axir, ular emas, biz haqiqiy sunnat qilinganmiz, chunki biz Xudoning Ruhi yordamida sajda qilamiz. Biz Iso Masih bilan maqtanamiz, insoniy xususiyatlarimizga ishonmaymiz.
4 Vaholanki, men oʻz xususiyatlarimga ishonsam boʻladi. Axir, bunday qilishga menda hammanikidan ham koʻra, koʻproq sabab bor. 5 Men sakkiz kunligimda sunnat qilinganman , Isroil avlodidan, Benyamin qabilasidanman. Men haqiqiy ibroniyman. Farziy boʻlib, Xudoning qonuniga soʻzsiz rioya qilardim. 6 Jon–jahdim bilan jamoatni quvgʻin qilardim. Qonunlarga rioya qilishga asoslangan solihlikka kelganda, aybsiz edim. 7 Ammo men uchun foyda boʻlgan bularning hammasini endi Masih tufayli zarar deb hisoblayman. 8-9 Ha, hamma narsa qadrsizdir, chunki Rabbim Iso Masihni tanib–bilishdan afzalroq hech narsa yoʻq deb hisoblayman. Uni deb, men hamma narsadan voz kechdim. Masihga sazovor boʻlish, butunlay Unga tegishli boʻlish uchun hamma narsani axlat deb bildim. Endi qonunga rioya qilish orqali solihlikka erishishga umid qilmayman, aksincha, Masihga boʻlgan imonim bilan solihlikka erishishga intilaman. Ha, bu solihlikni Xudo imon tufayli beradi. 10 Maqsadim shuki, Iso Masihni bilay, Uni tiriltirgan qudrat mening hayotimda ham oʻz kuchini koʻrsatsin, Masihning azoblariga sherik boʻlay. Uning oʻlim paytidagi fikr–zikri mening hayot tarzim namunasi boʻlsin. 11 Bir kun kelib, men oʻlikdan tirilishga erishaman, deb umid qilaman.
Yutuq tomon intilish
12 Men maqsadimga yetdim yoki kamolotga erishdim, deb aytolmayman. Ammo men unga yetishay, deb intilaman, chunki Iso Masih aynan shu maqsad uchun meni Oʻziniki qilib olgan. 13 Birodarlar, men oʻzimni oʻsha maqsadga yetishganman deb hisoblamayman. Ortda qolganlarni unutib, oldinga intilaman. Faqatgina 14 oʻsha maqsadni koʻzlayman–da, Xudo meni Iso Masih orqali chaqirib, menga ato qiladigan samoviy yutuq tomon intilmoqdaman. 15 Biz hammamiz, imon jihatidan yetuklikka erishganlar, shunday oʻylashimiz kerak. Agar sizlar biror narsa haqida boshqacha fikrda boʻlsangiz, Xudo sizlarga nohaq ekanligingizni ayon qiladi. 16 Nima boʻlishidan qatʼi nazar, qay darajaga erishgan boʻlsak, endi shu boʻyicha yashashda davom etaveraylik .
17 Birodarlarim, mendan oʻrnak olayotganlarga qoʻshilinglar. Bizning namunamiz boʻyicha yashayotganlarga eʼtibor berib, ulardan oʻrganinglar. 18 Axir, men sizlarga oldin koʻp marta aytganman, hozir ham koʻzlarimga yosh toʻlib, qaytaryapman: Masih xochining dushmani boʻlib yashayotganlar koʻp. 19 Ularning oxiri — halokat, ularning xudosi nafsdir. Uyatsiz qiliqlaridan faxrlanadilar. Ularning oʻy–xayollari foniy dunyodagi narsalarga berilgan. 20 Bizning vatanimiz esa samodadir. Bizlar najotkorimiz boʻlgan Rabbimiz Iso Masihning oʻsha yerdan kelishini intizorlik bilan kutyapmiz. 21 Rabbimiz butun borliqni Oʻziga boʻysundirish kuchiga egadir. Mana shu kuch bilan U bizning ojiz, foniy tanamizni Oʻzining ulugʻvor tanasiga oʻxshatib oʻzgartiradi.
1 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.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 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: 5 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; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 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, 9 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: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 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. 13 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, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 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. 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 ye have us for an ensample. 18 (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: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 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.
