The Key Word — στοιχέω, stoicheōgenerated
The Greek word στοιχέω (stoicheō) means to walk in line with or to follow a rule. It suggests a disciplined approach to living out one's faith, akin to marching in formation. This term is often used in contexts that emphasize adherence to a standard or guideline, as seen in Galatians 5:25.
In this verse, the present active infinitive form indicates an ongoing action, urging believers to continually align their lives with the principles they have learned. The emphasis is on a collective effort to maintain unity and purpose in the Christian walk.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible translates the verse as Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained. This is echoed in the KJV and WEB, both using similar phrases.
However, the ASV and BBE use only to introduce the thought, suggesting a slight difference in nuance. The YLT and DBY emphasize the same rule but in a different structure.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is ἐφθάσαμεν, we have attained, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a prepositional phrase εἰς to, indicating direction toward the standard, and a noun phrase κανόνι rule, which specifies the guideline they are to follow.
The structure emphasizes the relationship between their past achievements and the call to continue living by that same standard. The use of a present infinitive στοιχεῖν suggests an ongoing action, reinforcing the need for continual adherence.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word πλὴν (plēn), translated as "Nevertheless," appears in the Septuagint 107 times. It is chosen to render Hebrew words such as רַק (raḳ), which can convey a sense of restriction or limitation, and בַּד (baḏ), meaning separation. This choice emphasizes the contrast or exception being made in the context of the verse.
Additionally, it corresponds to the Hebrew אַךְ (ʾaḵ), which carries a similar restrictive force. The use of πλὴν in Philippians 3:16 underlines the importance of adhering to the standards already attained, despite any challenges or setbacks.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Philippians 3:16 reminds us that as we grow in our faith, we need to keep living according to the standards we have already reached. Paul encourages us to stay committed to our spiritual journey and to follow the example set by others who walk in faith.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

Read John Trapp on Philippians 3 →Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Let us walk . . .—In this verse the last words appear to be an explanatory gloss. The original runs thus: Nevertheless—as to that to which we did attain—let us walk by the same. The word “walk” is always used of pursuing a course deliberately chosen. (See Acts 21:24; Romans 4:12; Galatians 5:25.) The nearest parallel (from which the gloss is partly taken) is Galatians 6:16, “As many as walk by this rule, peace be upon them.” In this passage there seems to be the same double reference which has pervaded all St. Paul’s practical teaching. He is anxious for two things—that they should keep on in one course, and that all should keep on together. In both senses he addresses the “perfect;”…

The MSS., versions and fathers of the Alexandrian recension or edition, and which are supposed by Griesbach and others to contain the purest text, omit the words κανονιτοαυτοπρονειν, and read the verse thus: Whereunto we have already attained let us walk; or, according to what we have already attained, let us regulate our life, There is so much disagreement about the…

(with A.V.) gives the same English. The verb here is properly used, in classical Greek, of anticipation (so 1 Thessalonians 4:15), arrival beforehand, rapid arrival. Later, and so ordinarily in N.T., it loses much at least of this speciality, and means little besides “to reach,” “to arrive.” Still, a shadow of the first meaning may be traced in most places; a suggestion of an arrival which is either sudden, or achieved in spite of obstacles. The latter idea would be in place here, where the metaphor of the race…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Verumtamen ad quod pervenimus ut idem sapiamus, et in eadem permaneamus regula.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.

Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word πλήν (*plēn*) functions primarily as an adverb meaning 'but,' 'however,' or 'except.' It can also serve as a preposition with the genitive, indicating exceptions. In the New Testament, it appears in several contexts, often introducing clauses that restrict or expand on previous statements, such as in Matthew 11:22 and Acts 20:23. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement regarding its usage.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The Greek word φθάνω (phthano) means to come before or anticipate. It can also refer to arriving at or attaining something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as 1 Thessalonians 4:15 and Romans 9:31. Some lexicons note a shift in meaning from 'preceding' to simply 'arriving' in later texts.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

στοιχέω is derived from στοῖχος, meaning a row or line. It generally refers to the act of walking in line or following a rule, often in a military context. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe living according to a principle or rule, as seen in Acts 21:24 and Galatians 5:25. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

to be in rows (of waves, plants, etc., as well as of men), to walk in line (esp. of marching in file to battle; Xen., Cyr., vi, 3, 34, al.). Metaph., in late writers, to walk by rule: Ac 21:24; c. dat., to walk by or in (as a rule of life), Ro 4:12 (cf. MM, xxiii), Ga 5:25 6:16, Phl 3:16 (cf. συν-στοιχέω).†

wok (peripatein): Aside from its frequent occurrence in the usual sense, the word "walk" is used figuratively of conduct and of spiritual states. (1) Observance of laws or customs: "Thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs" (Ac 21:21). (2) Of the spiritual life: "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light" (1Joh 1:7); "That like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life" (Ro 6:4); "Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Ga 5:16); "For we walk by faith, not by sight"…

κανών (kanon) refers to a straight rod or bar, often used as a measuring tool or standard. In the New Testament, it signifies a boundary or sphere of activity, as seen in 2 Corinthians 10:13, 15, 16, and a rule of conduct in Galatians 6:16.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

In the sense of "against" which survives only in dialectal English (compare Wright, Dialect Dict., I, 470, for examples) is the King James Version rendering of the dative emauto of 1Co 4:4 (the American Standard Revised Version renders this "against"). In classical Greek the same idiom sunoida with dative = "be conscious" or "be cognizant of" a thing.
By
In the expression “by myself” (A.V., 1 Cor. 4:4), means, as rendered in the Revised Version, “against myself.”

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word φρονέω (phroneo) is built from the root meaning 'mind' and encompasses thinking, understanding, and being disposed in a certain way. It appears in various contexts, such as having opinions, being mindful, or directing one's thoughts towards specific matters. In the New Testament, it is notably used in Romans, Philippians, and Corinthians to express concepts of mindset and intention.
