Philippians 3:4-9

4 athough I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 bcircumcised on the eighth day, cof the people of Israel, dof the tribe of Benjamin, ea Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, fa Pharisee; 6 gas to zeal, ha persecutor of the church; ias to righteousness under the law,

blameless.
7But kwhatever gain I had, lI counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of mthe surpassing worth of nknowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I ohave suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having pa righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but qthat which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith
