Philippians 3: 3 - 8
|
| 3
|
For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.
|
| 4
|
Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
|
| 5
|
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law a Pharisee,
|
| 6
|
as to zeal a persecutor of the church, as to righteousness under the law blameless.
|
| 7
|
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
|
| 8
|
Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ
