Philippians 3:1-9

Summary

Paul roundly condemns legalism by emphatically denouncing these "dogs," these "evil-doers," for putting any confidence in the flesh. If there ever was one who could put confidence in the flesh it was Paul. He had the best of everything, a good upbringing, a great heritage, an excellent education, the highest religious zeal, but none of these things were good enough to warrant entrance into heaven. Paul counts all his former good deeds as the foulest of excrement. The only thing Paul valued was the surpassing value of knowing Jesus as his Lord.
