2 aBeware of dogs, beware of bevil workers, cbeware of the mutilation!
3 For we are athe circumcision, bwho worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,
4 though aI also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I bmore so:
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, aof the tribe of Benjamin, ba Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, ca Pharisee;
6 concerning zeal, apersecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But awhat things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss afor 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
