Christ Is More Important Than Anything

And now, my brothers and sisters, be filled with joy in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again. I want to be sure that you are prepared.

Footnotes

  1. Philippians 3:2 want to cut on … circumcised There is a play on words here in Greek. The key word is like “circumcision” (see “circumcise, circumcision” in the Word List), but it means “mutilation” or “cutting to pieces.”
  2. Philippians 3:3 we are … circumcision Literally, “we are the circumcision.” See “circumcise, circumcision” in the Word List.
