Philippians
Paul warns against putting confidence in the flesh and describes true identity as worship by the Spirit of God and glorying in Christ Jesus: Philippians 3:2–3. He then lists his own credentials and says he counts them as loss because of Christ: Philippians 3:4–7.
2Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
