First sentence: According to his own testimony, Paul's coming to faith in Christ involved the surrender of the heritage and piety which he once treasured: If anyone else supposes that they might boast in the flesh, I far more: circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, according to the law, a Pharisee, according to zeal, a persecutor of the church, according to the righteousness which is in the law, blameless (Phil. 3:4b-6).
