Philippians 3:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Philippians 3:2

All for Christ

1 Finally, my brethren, ^arejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

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

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;
