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,

Philippians 3:2-8
New King James Version
2 (A)Beware of dogs, beware of (B)evil workers, (C)beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are (D)the circumcision, (E)who worship [a]God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 4 though (F)I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I (G)more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, (H)of the tribe of Benjamin, (I)a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, (J)a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, (K)persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But (L)what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss (M)for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ
