Philippians 3:1–11

¹As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you is sure; ²look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision; ³for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust.

⁴Though I also have cause of trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more; ⁵circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee! ⁶according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless! ⁷But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss; ⁸yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him.

⁹Not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ—the righteousness that is of God by the faith, ¹⁰to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, ¹¹if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
