Philippians 3:6

Compare all

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

9 and be found in Him, not having ^amy own righteousness, which is from the law, but ^bthat which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10 that I may know Him and the ^apower of His resurrection, and ^bthe fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

11 if, by any means, I may ^aattain to the resurrection from the dead.

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.
