Philippians 3:2
v. 2: Paul warns them to beware of false teachers, calling them dogs and evil workers (Philippians 3:2 a). These teachers promoted circumcision and other Jewish rituals as necessary for salvation. Paul says they are like wild dogs, causing harm to believers, and their teachings are destructive. Instead of building up the church, they tear it apart by focusing on outward rituals rather than faith in Christ (Isaiah 56:10 b).
