Philippians 3:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day of my life. I was one of the people of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin.[a] I am a Hebrew and the son of Hebrews. In regard to the Law, I was a Pharisee; 6 in regard to religious zeal, I was a persecutor of the Church; in regard to righteousness under the Law, I was without fault.
7 All these I once regarded as assets, but now I have come to regard them as losses because of Christ.
