Philippians 3:3-9
3for 1we are the true 2circumcision, who 3worship in the Spirit of God and take 4pride in 5Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh, 4although 6I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: 57circumcised the eighth day, of the 8nation of Israel, of the 9tribe of Benjamin, a 10Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, 11a Pharisee; 6as to zeal, 12a persecutor of the church; as to the 13righteousness which is in the Law, found 14blameless.
7But 15whatever 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 16in view of the surpassing value of 1718knowing 19Christ Jesus my Lord, 20for 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 21a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, 22the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
