1. Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
2. Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3. For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Messiah Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh;
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, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Messiah.
