Monday
Philippians 3:1
Whatever happens, You, Lord, give me joy. I never tire of hearing that You do all for my own good.
Tuesday
Philippians 3:2
I watch out for the dogs, those wicked men and their evil deeds, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved..
Wednesday
Philippians 3:3
For I, who worship You, God, in the Spirit, am the only one who is truly circumcised. I put no confidence in human effort. Instead, I boast about what You, Jesus, have done for me.
Thursday
Philippians 3:4
Yet I could have confidence in myself if anyone could. If others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more!
Friday
Philippians 3:5
For I was circumcised when I was eight days old, having been born into a pure-blooded Jewish family that is a branch of the tribe of Benjamin. So I am a real Jew, if ever there was one! What’s more, I was a member of the Pharisees, who demanded the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.
