(Before It's News)

If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more, 5Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee: 6According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame. 7But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ. 8Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord.
