If anyone want to talk about 'confidence in the flesh', Paul was ready to take them on - Philippians 3:4-7
Paul used the events in his life to show just how empty all human achievements in before God
Heredity reasons (how Paul was more than others but counted them a loss)
He was circumcised the first day it was possible (eighth day)
He was an Israelite
He was from the tribe of Benjamin (most honored tribe of all)
He was a Hebrew of Hebrews - carefully passed on Hebrew language to children
Hard work reasons (how Paul was more than others but counted them a loss)
He considered it all a loss = Greek: "the thinks that were gains to me, I counted loss"
If anyone had a right to glory in the flesh, Paul did, but he clearly saw that no one has that right Key Phrase:Paul used the events in his life to show just how empty all human achievements in before God
