Paul Counts His Pedigree as Loss

4

though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

5

circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

6

concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

7

However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Messiah.

8

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Messiah Yeshua, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Messiah

9

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Messiah, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

11

if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
