Philippians 3:1-7

1 Henceforward, my brethren, have ye joy in the Lord. To write to you the same things, to me it is not slow, and to you it is necessary.
2 See ye hounds, see ye evil workmen, see ye division [see ye concision].
3 For we be circumcision, which by spirit serve to God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have not trust in the flesh,
4 though I have trust, yea, in the flesh. If any other man is seen to trust in the flesh, I more,
5 that was circumcised in the eighth day, of the kin of Israel [circumcised in the eighth day, of the kindred of Israel], of the lineage of Benjamin, an Hebrew of Hebrews, by the law a Pharisee [after the law a Pharisee],
6 by love pursuing the church of God, by rightwiseness that is in the law living without plaint. [after love pursuing the church of God, after rightwiseness that is in the law living without plaint.]
7 But which things were to me winnings, I have deemed these impairings for Christ.
