Philippians 3:4 - Exposition

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh ; literally, though having myself confidence in the flesh also ; that is , as well as in Christ. The apostle had both grounds of confidence: the one he renounces for the other; but no man could accuse him of despising that which he did not himself possess. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more . He claims the privileges of the Jew; they are his by right, but he counts them loss for Christ.
