Philippians 3:1-9
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: 511circumcised 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.
7But 19whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. 8More than that, I count all things to be loss 20in view of the surpassing value of 2122knowing 23Christ Jesus my Lord, 24for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, 9and may be found in Him, not having 25a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, 26the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
