In context
AI-assisted, sourcedPhilippians 3:1-11No confidence in the flesh
About Philippians 3Paul warns against those who put "confidence in the flesh," and says that if anyone could boast in the flesh, he could: circumcised, "an Hebrew of the Hebrews," a Pharisee, blameless in the law's righteousness. But he counts all that loss "for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord," wanting the righteousness "which is of God by faith," and to "know him, and the power of his resurrection." Not yet perfect, he presses "toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God," for "our conversation is in heaven," from where we look for the Saviour.
