Philippians 3:3-9

3ForG1063 it is weG1473 who areG1510 theG3588 circumcisionG4061, we whoG3588 worshipG3000 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, whoG2532 gloryG2744 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 who put no confidenceG3756G3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561— 4thoughG2539 I myselfG1473G2532 could haveG2192 such confidenceG4006G1722G4561.

IfG1487 anyoneG5100 elseG243 thinksG1380 he has grounds for confidenceG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561, IG1473 have moreG3123: 5circumcisedG4061 on the eighth dayG3637, ofG1537 the peopleG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958; a HebrewG1445 ofG1537 HebrewsG1445; as toG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330; 6as toG2596 zealG2205, persecutingG1377 theG3588 churchG1577; as toG2596 righteousnessG1343 inG1722 the lawG3551, faultlessG273.

7ButG235 whateverG3748 wasG1510 gainG2771 to meG1473 I count asG2233 lossG2209 for the sake ofG1223 ChristG5547. 8More than thatG235G3303G3767G1065G2532, I countG2233 all thingsG3956 asG1510 lossG2209 compared toG1223 theG3588 surpassing excellenceG5242 ofG3588 knowingG1108 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG1473 LordG2962, forG1223 whomG3739 I have lostG2210 all thingsG3956. I considerG2233 them rubbishG4657, thatG2443 I may gainG2770 ChristG5547 9andG2532 be foundG2147 inG1722 HimG846, notG3361 havingG2192 my ownG1699 righteousnessG1343 fromG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 that whichG3588 is throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547,1 theG3588 righteousnessG1343 fromG1537 GodG2316 on the basis ofG1909 faithG4102.
