WNT(i)
3 For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:
4 although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:
5 circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee;
6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.
7 Yet all that was gain to me--for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.
