Philippians 3:2-8
New International Version
2 Watch out for those dogs,(A) those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision,(B) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,(C) and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.(D)
If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised(E) on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,(F) of the tribe of Benjamin,(G) a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;(H) 6 as for zeal,(I) persecuting the church;(J) as for righteousness based on the law,(K) faultless.
7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss(L) for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing(M) Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ(N)
Philippians 3:2-8
King James Version
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I 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 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
