*
Finally ,
my brethren ,
rejoice in the Lord ;
to write the same things to you ,
to me is not burdensome ,
and for you it is safe .
*
Beware of the dogs ,
beware of the evil workmen ,
beware of the concision .
*
For we are the circumcision ,
who worship by the Spirit of God ,
and glory in Christ Jesus ,
and have no confidence in the flesh ;
*
though I myself have reason for confidence even in the flesh .
If any other man thinketh that he hath reason for confidence in the flesh ,
I more ;
*
circumcised the eighth day ,
of the race of Israel ,
of the tribe of Benjamin ,
a Hebrew of the Hebrews ;
as to the Law ,
a Pharisee ;
*
as to zeal ,
persecuting the church ;
as to the righteousness which is in the Law ,
blameless .
*
But whatever things were gain to me ,
those for the sake of Christ I have counted but loss .
*
Nay more ,
I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord ,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things ,
and count them as refuse ,
that I may gain Christ ,
*
and be found in him ,
not having my own righteousness ,
which is of the Law ,
but that which is through faith in Christ ,
the righteousness which is from God upon faith ;
*
that I may know him ,
and the power of his resurrection ,
and the fellowship of his sufferings ,
while becoming like him in his death ,
*
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead .
