wmth - Philippians:3:1-11

wmth@Philippians:3:1 @ In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.

wmth@Philippians:3:2 @ Beware of `the dogs,' the bad workmen, the self-mutilators.

wmth@Philippians:3:3 @ For we are the true circumcision–we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:

wmth@Philippians:3:4 @ although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:

wmth@Philippians:3:5 @ circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee;

wmth@Philippians:3:6 @ as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.

wmth@Philippians:3:7 @ Yet all that was gain to me–for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.

wmth@Philippians:3:8 @ Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,

wmth@Philippians:3:9 @ not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ–the righteousness which comes from God through faith.

wmth@Philippians:3:10 @ I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;

wmth@Philippians:3:11 @ in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.
