Philippians 3:3-5

International Standard Version

³ For it is we who are the circumcision^[a]—we who worship in the Spirit of God^[b] and find our joy in the Messiah^[c] Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh, ⁴ although I could have confidence in the flesh. If anyone thinks he can place confidence in the flesh, I have more reason to think so.^{[d] 5} Having been circumcised on the eighth day, I am of the nation of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. As far as the Law is concerned, I was a Pharisee.
