Philippians 3:2

Beware of wild dogs!
Beware of evil workers! [2 Cor. 11:13]
Beware of those who are cut off! [A sarcastic expression.]
[Paul now warns against a well-known group of Judeizers who believed that the way for Gentiles to enter the faith was through Judaism. They are already mentioned in Acts 15:1 and may not yet have been in Philippi. The dog was an unclean animal for Jews. Even among Rom. and Greeks, the expression was used pejoratively for someone who was unclean and unholy, see however Matt. 15:26–28. Paul now uses a sarcastic tone and turns the expression around, calling these Judaizing teachers wild dogs. For these false teachers, circumcision had become a ceremony without any understanding of its underlying meaning of conversion of the heart. They insisted that even Gentile men had to be circumcised to be counted as believers, a teaching that Paul strongly opposes.]
