  Philippians 3:1–8

  **Show the text**

  1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

  2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

  3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

  4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

  5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

  6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

  7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

  8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

- Gospel

  Luke 11:47–12:1

  47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

  48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.

  49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,

  50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

  51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

  52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”

  53 As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;

  54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.

  1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
