Philippians 3: 3-7 (KJV)
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 (1)Circumcised the eighth day, (2)of the stock of Israel, (3)of the tribe of Benjamin, (4)an Hebrew of the Hebrews; (5)as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 (6)Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; (7)touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what [*these afore-mentioned] things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
2 Corinthians 5: 14-16 (KJV)
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead [*when that One Man died!]:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more [*after His flesh].
