Philippians 3:3-7

Goodspeed(i) 3 We are the true circumcision, who worship God by his Spirit, priding ourselves only on Christ Jesus, and not relying on physical advantages, 4 though I at least am entitled to rely on them. If anyone thinks he can rely on his physical advantages, still more can I! 5 I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a descendant of Israel. I belong to the tribe of Benjamin. I am a Hebrew, and the son of Hebrews. As to the Law, I was a Pharisee; 6 as to my zeal, I was a persecutor of the church; and by the Law's standard of uprightness, no fault could be found with me. 7 But for the sake of Christ I have come to count my former gains as loss.
