Philippians 3:4b-6 Part 1 of 2

If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. 

circumcised on the eighth day 
Genesis 17:12  "For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner--those who are not your offspring."
Genesis 21:4  When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him.
Luke 1:59-60  On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother spoke up and said, "No! He is to be called John."
Acts 7:8  "Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs."

of the people of Israel 
2 Corinthians 11:22  Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants: So am I.

of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews 
Romans 11:1  I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

in regard to the law, a Pharisee 
Acts 23:6-8  Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead." When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. (The Sadducees say there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)
