Philippians 3:4

Read in context

Philippians 3:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!

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—

4 though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

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;

6 as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
