Philippians 3:4 - Additional Comments

Some have "confidence in the flesh", meaning their worldly success is what gives them their foundation, their confidence. Paul says this is false (even though he had the position to do this). Since Paul was given practically more than what anyone would want to have confidence in the flesh (he says "I more so"), Paul reasons that no one could have more foundation in the world than he, and no one would have more to give up. If anyone says they have too much to give up, show them Paul.
