Philippians 3:2-7 New King James Version
2 (A)Beware of dogs, beware of (B)evil workers, (C)beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are (D)the circumcision, (E)who worship [a]God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 4 though (F)I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I (G)more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, (H)of the tribe of Benjamin, (I)a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, (J)a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, (K)persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But (L)what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
