Phillipians 3:4-6 The relavence of this scripture to me is, how important it is to read scripture into context. Reading 3:4-6 I see a whinny baby that feels he has any right to be confident in himself, after all he was circumcised on the 8th day, of the people of Israel, of the tride of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, a Pharisee, why wouldn't he be able to boast in himself. Yet Paul see God as his greatest gain, no superficially but in a real relationship way. His confidence remains in Christ, that he considers all of his worldly gains as loss compared to his relationship in Christ, a humble thought.
