Philippians 3:4-8

4although 1I 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 2circumcised the eighth day, of the 3nation of Israel, of the 4tribe of Benjamin, a 5Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, 6a Pharisee; 6as to zeal, 7a persecutor of the church; as to the 8righteousness which is in the Law, found 9blameless.

7But 10whatever 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 11in view of the surpassing value of 12 13knowing 14Christ Jesus my Lord, 15for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,
