Philippians 3:3-7

New American Standard Bible

³for ^(A)we are the true ^[a]circumcision, who ^(B)worship in the Spirit of God and take ^(C)pride in ^(D)Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh, ⁴although ^(E)I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason: ⁵^(F)circumcised the eighth day, of the ^(G)nation of Israel, of the ^(H)tribe of Benjamin, a ^(I)Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, ^(J)a Pharisee; ⁶as to zeal, ^(K)a persecutor of the church; as to the ^(L)righteousness which is in the Law, found ^(M)blameless.

⁷But ^(N)whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ.

Philippians 3:3-7

New International Version

³For it is we who are the circumcision,^(A) we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus,^(B) and who put no confidence in the flesh— ⁴though I myself have reasons for such confidence.^(C)

If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: ⁵circumcised^(D) on the eighth day, of the people of Israel,^(E) of the tribe of Benjamin,^(F) a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;^(G) ⁶as for zeal,^(H) persecuting the church;^(I) as for righteousness based on the law,^(J) faultless.
