Philippians 3:6
Douay-Rheims
According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
Augustine of Hippo
Before his conversion Paul fulfilled the law conspicuously, either through fear of the people or of God himself, even if he may have offended the law in his internal affections. But he was fulfilling the law through fear of punishment, not through love of righteousness.
