To Know Christ

Beware of dogs and evil men,
And beware of the concision;
That might approach you now and then,
For their ungodly intention.

Since we are the circumcision,
Who worship and rejoice in Christ;
Putting no fleshy decision,
Earthly pleasures that have enticed.

Though I myself have a reason,
In the flesh to have confidence;
Someone else thinks of a season,
That maybe just coincidence.

When circumcised on the eighth day,
As persecutor of the church;
Righteousness that has gone away,
Under the Law blameless in my search.

Whatever that I had to gain,
I had counted it as for a loss;
For the sake of Christ of the pain,
As He hung up upon the cross.

I count everything as a loss,
Because of the surpassing worth;
Knowing that my Lord on the cross,
That has given me a rebirth.

The loss of all things I suffered,
In order that I may gain Christ;
Because of my Lord who buffered,
My past life has been sacrificed.
