aFinally, my brethren, brejoice in the Lord. bbTo write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of cdogs, beware of devil workers, beware of ethe concision. 3 For fwe are the circumcision, gwhich worship God hin the spirit, and irejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though kI might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 lCircumcised the eighth day, mof the stock of Israel, nof the tribe of Benjamin, mnan Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, oa Pharisee; 6 pConcerning zeal, qpersecuting the church; touching rthe righteousness which is in the law, sblameless. 7 But twhat things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea udoubtless, and I count all things but loss for wthe excellency of xthe knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have ysuffered the loss of all things, and do count them but zdung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having amine own righteousness, awhich is of the law, but bthat which is through bbthe faith of Christ, athe righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and cthe power of his resurrection, and dthe fellowship of his sufferings, ebeing made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might fattain unto the resurrection of the dead.
