Philippians 3:1-6

1Finally, my brothers and sisters, 1rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble for 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 take 8pride in 9Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh, 4although 10I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: 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.
