Objective genitive like strkjv@Phillipians:3:9|, "through faith in Christ" (\dia pistes Christou\). {But not according to knowledge} (\all' ou kat' epignsin\). They had knowledge of God and so were superior to the Gentiles in privilege (2:9-11|), but they sought God in an external way by rules and rites and missed him (9:30-33|). They became zealous for the letter and the form instead of for God himself.
