1 For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.2 Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:3 For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:4 Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:5 Being given circumcision on the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in relation to the law, a Pharisee:6 In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.7 But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.8 Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,
