New American Standard Bible 1995

Philippians 3:2-7

2Beware of the 1dogs, beware of the 2evil workers, beware of the 3false circumcision; 3for 4we are the true 5circumcision, who 6worship in the Spirit of God and 7glory in 8Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, 4although 9I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 10circumcised the eighth day, of the 11nation of Israel, of the 12tribe of Benjamin, a 13Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, 14a Pharisee; 6as to zeal, 15a persecutor of the church; as to the 16righteousness which is in the Law, found 17blameless.

7But 18whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
