Philippians 3:1-6

1Finally, my brethren, 1rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

2Beware of the 2dogs, beware of the 3evil workers, beware of the 4false circumcision; 3for 5we are the true 6circumcision, who 7worship in the Spirit of God and 8glory in 9Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, 4although 10I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 11circumcised the eighth day, of the 12nation of Israel, of the 13tribe of Benjamin, a 14Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, 15a Pharisee; 6as to zeal, 16a persecutor of the church; as to the 17righteousness which is in the Law, found 18blameless.
