4 Nevertheless, I might have confidence also in the flesh, for if anyone else seems to have confidence in the flesh, more so do I. 5 For I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew among Hebrews. According to the law, I was a Pharisee; 6 according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame. 7 But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, for the sake of Christ. 8 Yet truly, I consider everything to be a loss, because of the preeminent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of everything, considering it all to be like dung, so that I may gain Christ, Philippians 3:4-8, Catholic Public Domain Version.
