I. NEGATIVELY. The true circumcision gloried not —

1. In themselves.

2. In anything about themselves — circumcision or Abrahamic descent.

3. In Christ and something else — in Him and Moses.

II. POSITIVELY. They gloried in Christ.

1. In His great condescension.

2. In His birth and its wonders.

3. In His life and its blessings.

4. In His death and its benefits.

5. In His resurrection and ascension, and their pledges.

6. In His return, and its stupendous and permanent results.
