*
Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also .
If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh ,
I have more :
*
circumcised on the eighth day ,
of the people of Israel ,
of the tribe of Benjamin ,
a Hebrew born of Hebrews ;
as to the law a Pharisee ,
*
as to zeal a persecutor of the church ,
as to righteousness under the law blameless .
*
But whatever gain I had ,
I counted as loss for the sake of Christ .
*
Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord .
For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things ,
and count them as refuse ,
in order that I may gain Christ
*
and be found in him ,
not having a righteousness of my own ,
based on law ,
but that which is through faith in Christ ,
the righteousness from God that depends on faith ;
