3:3
For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
3:4
though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
3:5
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
3:6
as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
3:7
But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.
3:8
More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
3:9
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
3:10
I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,
3:11
and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
