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.
