Philippians 3:6
Having such a zeal for it as to persecute to the death those who did not observe it. Touching the righteousness which is described and enjoined by the Law - That is, external observances, blameless.
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
