BLB(i)
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you indeed is not troublesome to me, and is safe for you.
2 Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the false circumcision!
3 For we are the circumcision, those worshiping in the Spirit of God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and not trusting in the flesh—
4 though I have confidence even in the flesh. If any other thinks to trust in the flesh, I more:
5 circumcision on the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; according to the Law, a Pharisee;
6 according to zeal, persecuting the church; according to righteousness in the Law, having become faultless.
7 But whatever things were gain to me, these I have esteemed loss because of Christ.
8 But indeed, therefore, I also count all things to be loss because of the excelling knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I have lost all things, and esteem them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is of the Law, but that which is through faith from Christ, the righteousness of God on the basis of faith,
10 to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from out of dead.
