SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–4:1: The Philippians should follow Paul’s example and trust Christ to make them righteous

Paul told the believers to watch out for those who were teaching that believers must be circumcised. He also warned them against those who were proud of doing evil. He encouraged them to follow his example instead. Paul tried to be like Christ and depended on him alone in order to become righteous.

In both 3:1 and 4:1, Paul talked about being joyful. Therefore, it is possible to consider that 3:1 is an introduction to this section and 4:1 is a summary of this section. However, some English versions consider that 3:1a is the final statement in the previous section and so attach it to the end of chapter 2 (REB, NJB, NRSV). You may want to follow whatever the national language version in your area does here.

Paragraph 3:12–16

Paul wanted the Philippians to have the same attitude as he did, the attitude he had as he earnestly tried to become all that God wanted him to be.

3:16

Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.

In any case, we^(incl) must obey what we^(incl) already know God wants us^(incl) to do and to be.
The important thing is that we^(incl) act according to what God has already shown to us^(incl).

Nevertheless: The word Nevertheless implies that Paul was emphasizing an important point. In English it could be expressed as “In any case…” or “However…” or “The important thing is…”

we must live up to what we have already attained: Paul was saying, “Let each of us act consistently with the level we have reached as Christians.” This means that believers should obey what they already know God wants them to do and to be. One way to translate this would be to follow the SSA:

we^(incl) must act/live according to what God has already revealed to us^(incl) (SSA)

Another possibility is:

let us^(incl) obey what we^(incl) know God has already revealed to us^(incl)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

εἰς ὃ ἐφθάσαμεν, τῷ αὐτῷ στοιχεῖν

to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πλήν εἰς ὅ ἐφθάσαμεν τῷ αὐτῷ στοιχεῖν)

When Paul says we in this verse, he is speaking of himself and the Philippian Christians, so we is inclusive here. Your language may require you to mark these two uses of we as inclusive forms. Alternate translation: [let us all continue obeying the same truths we have already received]

εἰς ὃ ἐφθάσαμεν, τῷ αὐτῷ στοιχεῖν

to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πλήν εἰς ὅ ἐφθάσαμεν τῷ αὐτῷ στοιχεῖν)

Alternate translation: [in the things that we have attained so far, we should live in them] or [in the things that we have believed so far, we should obey them] or [in the things that we have believed so far, we should act on them]
