Stay focused on Christ 3:2-16 is part of a larger section in which Paul gives his concluding exhortation. This section marks Paul's first concern: that the church beware of placing faith in their own righteous/religious accomplishments. Paul gives his own life as an example of how they are to live. In my attempt to unify the passage, I think it has become quite awkward. I'm not satisfied. It seems Paul's thoughts are not compact and concise. And as he begins to move away from his central point (beware of the false circumcision because we are the true), it becomes more difficult to link every logical relationship. If the multiple arcs are completely confusing, I'm sharing a concise version that may help. The reason I've embraced the whole of the passage is because I have concluded there is a flow of thought from 3:2-16 (which is part of a greater section) Any help to see the forrest and the trees would be appreciated -- as always.

NT

Τὸ λοιπόν, ἀδελφοί μου, χαίρετε ἐν κυρίῳ.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.

τὰ αὐτὰ γράφειν ὑμῖν ἐμοὶ μὲν οὐκ ὀκνηρόν,

To write the same things again is no trouble to me,

ὑμῖν δὲ ἀσφαλές.

and it is a safeguard for you.

series

βλέπετε τοὺς κύνας,

Beware of the dogs,

βλέπετε τοὺς κακοὺς ἐργάτας,

beware of the evil workers,

βλέπετε τὴν κατατομήν.

beware of the false circumcision;

ideaexplanation

ἡμεῖς γάρ ἐσμεν ἡ περιτομή,

for we are the true circumcision,

οἱ πνεύματι θεοῦ λατρεύοντες

who worship in the Spirit of God

καὶ καυχώμενοι ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

and glory in Christ Jesus

καὶ οὐκ ἐν σαρκὶ πεποιθότες,

and put no confidence in the flesh,

καίπερ ἐγὼ ἔχων πεποίθησιν καὶ ἐν σαρκί.

although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh.

εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἄλλος πεποιθέναι ἐν σαρκί,

If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh,

ἐγὼ μᾶλλον·

a Hebrew of Hebrews;

κατὰ νόμον Φαρισαῖος,

as to the Law, a Pharisee;

κατὰ ζῆλος διώκων τὴν ἐκκλησίαν,

as to zeal, a persecutor of the church;

κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐν νόμῳ γενόμενος ἄμεμπτος.

as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

ἅτινα ἦν μοι κέρδη,

But whatever things were gain to me,

ταῦτα ἥγημαι

those things I have counted as loss

διὰ τὸν Χριστὸν ζημίαν.

for the sake of Christ.

ground

ἀλλὰ μενοῦνγε καὶ ἡγοῦμαι πάντα ζημίαν εἶναι

More than that, I count all things to be loss

διὰ τὸ ὑπερέχον τῆς γνώσεως Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου,

in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,

δι’ ὃν τὰ πάντα ἐζημιώθην,

for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,

καὶ ἡγοῦμαι σκύβαλα

and count them but rubbish

ἵνα Χριστὸν κερδήσω

so that I may gain Christ,

καὶ εὑρεθῶ ἐν αὐτῷ,

and may be found in Him,

μὴ ἔχων ἐμὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν

not having a righteousness of my own

ἐκ νόμου

derived from the Law,

ἀλλὰ τὴν διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ,

but that which is through faith in Christ,

on the basis of faith,

Οὐχ ὅτι ἤδη ἔλαβον

Not that I have already obtained it

ἢ ἤδη τετελείωμαι,

or have already become perfect,

διώκω δὲ

but I press on

εἰ καταλάβω, ἐφ’ ᾧ

so that I may lay hold of that

καὶ κατελήμφθην ὑπὸ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ.

for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

ἀδελφοί, ἐγὼ ἐμαυτὸν οὔπω λογίζομαι κατειληφέναι·

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet;

ἓν δέ, τὰ μὲν

but one thing I do:

ὀπίσω ἐπιλανθανόμενος τοῖς

forgetting what lies behind

δὲ ἔμπροσθεν ἐπεκτεινόμενος,

and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

κατὰ σκοπὸν διώκω

I press on toward the goal

εἰς τὸ βραβεῖον τῆς ἄνω κλήσεως τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.

for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

ὅσοι οὖν τέλειοι, τοῦτο φρονῶμεν· καὶ εἴ τι ἑτέρως φρονεῖτε,

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude;

καὶ τοῦτο ὁ θεὸς ὑμῖν ἀποκαλύψει·

and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;

πλὴν εἰς ὃ ἐφθάσαμεν, τῷ αὐτῷ στοιχεῖν.

however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.
