Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

3 Finally, my brothers, ^(A)rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

² Beware of the ^(B)dogs! Beware of the ^(C)evil workers! Beware of the ^[a]mutilation! ³ For ^(D)we are the ^[b]circumcision, who ^(E)worship ^[c]in the Spirit of God and ^(F)boast in ^(G)Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, ⁴ although ^(H)I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: ^5 (I)circumcised the eighth day, of the ^(J)nation of Israel, of the ^(K)tribe of Benjamin, a ^(L)Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, ^(M)a Pharisee; ⁶ as to zeal, ^(N)a persecutor of the church; as to the ^(O)righteousness which is in the Law, found ^(P)blameless.

⁷ But ^(Q)whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of ^[d](R)knowing ^(S)Christ Jesus my Lord, ^[e]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ
