I might also have. Rather, “I have also,” that is, in addition to his trust in Christ, he possessed advantages desired by Judaizers. He now saw that his fleshly advantages were of no value in respect to salvation. When God chose His special witness against trusting inherited privileges for salvation, He chose one who not only possessed all that an Israelite could possibly boast in, but one who had been exceedingly conscious and proud of his heritage. It is in this setting that Paul’s testimony takes on its true force. He confessed that no advantage of birth or education could bring peace or secure the favor of God.
