Philippians 3:4-14

4though I myself might have confidenceG4006 evenG2532 in the fleshG4561: if any otherG243 man thinketh to have confidenceG4006 in the fleshG4561, I yet moreG3123:

5circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, a HebrewG1445 of HebrewsG1445; as touching the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330;

6as touching zealG2205, persecutingG1377 the churchG1577; as touching the righteousnessG1343 which is in the lawG3551, found blamelessG273.

7Howbeit what thingsG3778 wereG1510 gainG2771 to me, these have I counted lossG2209 for ChristG5547.

8Yea verily, and I count all thingsG3956 to beG1510 lossG2209 for the excellency of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 my LordG2962: for whom I sufferedG2210 the lossG2209 of all thingsG3956, and do count them but refuse, that I may gainG2770 ChristG5547,

9and be foundG2147 in him, not having a righteousnessG1343 of mine own, evenG2532 that which is of the lawG3551, but that which is through faithG4102 in ChristG5547, the righteousnessG1343 which is from GodG2316 by faithG4102:

10that I may knowG1097 him, and the powerG1411 of his resurrectionG386, and the fellowshipG2842 of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his deathG2288;

11if by any means I may attainG2658 unto the resurrection from the deadG3498.

12Not that I have alreadyG2235 obtained, or am alreadyG2235 madeG5048 perfectG5048: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which alsoG2532 I was laid hold on by ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

13Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but oneG1520 thingG1520 I do, forgettingG1950 the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are beforeG1715,

14I press on toward the goal unto the prizeG1017 of the high callingG2821 of GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
