Philippians 3:1-11 ▼

1 As to the rest, my brothers, rejoice in the LORD; indeed, [it] is not tiresome to me to write to you the same things, and for you [is] sure.

2 Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!

3 For we are the circumcision, who are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in flesh,

4 though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in flesh, I more:

5 circumcision on the eighth day! Of the race of Israel! Of the tribe of Benjamin! A Hebrew of Hebrews! According to law—a Pharisee!

6 According to zeal—persecuting the Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!

7 But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the Christ;

8 yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,

9 not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,

10 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

11 if anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
