SCRIPTURE

"though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:" — Philippians 3:4 (ASV)

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh.

"If any man might trust in outward religion, I might," said Paul; yet he was the very man who would not do so, and who warned others against doing it.

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:

If any man might have had confidence in the flesh, truly Paul might.

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh.

If anybody might, Paul might. If birth, if education, or if external religiousness could have saved anybody in the world, it would have saved Saul of Tarsus.
