Philippians 3:2 - The Message
Steer clear of the barking dogs, those religious busybodies, all bark and no bite. All theyre interested in is appearances—knife-happy circumcisers, I call them. The real believers are the ones the Spirit of God leads to work away at this ministry, filling the air with Christs praise as we do it. We couldnt carry this off by our own efforts, and we know it—even though we can list what many might think are impressive credentials. You know my pedigree: a legitimate birth, circumcised on the eighth day; an Israelite from the elite tribe of Benjamin; a strict and devout adherent to Gods law; a fiery defender of the purity of my religion, even to the point of persecuting the church; a meticulous observer of everything set down in Gods law Book.

Philippians 3:2 - Additional Comments
He compares them to dogs, ones that cannot be controlled, who bite to tear and harm - they work evil - that is their occupation, their purpose. They are the "mutilation", for circumcision, if not to join with God, is nothing more than a mutilation. They not only mutilate the flesh, but they mutilate what being accomplished for God.
