Philippians 3:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 for (A)we are the true [a]circumcision, who (B)worship in the Spirit of God and take (C)pride in (D)Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although (E)I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: 5 (F)circumcised the eighth day, of the (G)nation of Israel, of the (H)tribe of Benjamin, a (I)Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, (J)a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, (K)a persecutor of the church; as to the (L)righteousness which is in the Law, found (M)blameless.
7 But (N)whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss [b]in view of the surpassing value of [c](O)knowing (P)Christ Jesus my Lord, [d]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,
