Summary
Fr Athanasios Mytilinaios continues Philippians 3, explaining Paul’s warning against Judaizing teachers who attached circumcision and Mosaic observance to salvation in Christ, calling them dogs, evil workers, and the katatomē in contrast to the true circumcision received through grace, faith, the Cross, and the Resurrection. He identifies the heavenly prize with the Kingdom of God, incorruption, immortality, and the eternal contemplation of Christ’s face. Paul’s confession that he has not yet attained is read as a lesson in humility, since even the Apostle does not presume to be already perfected; genuine progress means pressing forward, forgetting past good works, and refusing self-admiration or comparison with others. Mytilinaios distinguishes earthly callings from the upward calling of God, urging that salvation remain the final aim, with reference to Luke 13:24 and 1 Timothy 6:12.
