Philippians 3:4-6
J.B. Phillips New Testament
I was even more of a Jew than these Jews, yet knowing Christ has changed my whole life

I was born a true Jew, I was circumcised on the eighth day, I was a member of the tribe of Benjamin, I was in fact a full-blooded Jew.

As far as the Law’s righteousness is concerned, I don’t think anyone could have found fault with me.
