Philippians 3:4-14

4thoughG2539 I myselfG1473G2532 could haveG2192 such confidenceG4006G1722G4561.

IfG1487 anyoneG5100 elseG243 thinksG1380 he has grounds for confidenceG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561, IG1473 have moreG3123: 5circumcisedG4061 on the eighth dayG3637, ofG1537 the peopleG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958; a HebrewG1445 ofG1537 HebrewsG1445; as toG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330; 6as toG2596 zealG2205, persecutingG1377 theG3588 churchG1577; as toG2596 righteousnessG1343 inG1722 the lawG3551, faultlessG273.

7ButG235 whateverG3748 wasG1510 gainG2771 to meG1473 I count asG2233 lossG2209 for the sake ofG1223 ChristG5547. 8More than thatG235G3303G3767G1065G2532, I countG2233 all thingsG3956 asG1510 lossG2209 compared toG1223 theG3588 surpassing excellenceG5242 ofG3588 knowingG1108 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG1473 LordG2962, forG1223 whomG3739 I have lostG2210 all thingsG3956. I considerG2233 them rubbishG4657, thatG2443 I may gainG2770 ChristG5547 9andG2532 be foundG2147 inG1722 HimG846, notG3361 havingG2192 my ownG1699 righteousnessG1343 fromG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 that whichG3588 is throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547,1 theG3588 righteousnessG1343 fromG1537 GodG2316 on the basis ofG1909 faithG4102.

I want to knowG1097 Christ andG2532 theG3588 powerG1411 ofG3588 HisG846 resurrectionG386 andG2532 theG3588 fellowshipG2842 ofG3588 HisG846 sufferingsG3804, being conformedG4833 toG3588 Him in HisG846 deathG2288, 11and soG1487, somehowG4459, to attainG2658 toG1519 theG3588 resurrectionG1815 fromG1537 the deadG3498.

12NotG3756 thatG3754 I have already obtainedG2235G2983 all this, orG2228 have already been made perfectG2235G5048, butG1161 I press onG1377 to take hold ofG2638 that for whichG1909G3739 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 took hold of meG2638. 13BrothersG80, IG1473 do notG3756 considerG3049 myselfG1683 yet to have taken holdG2638 of it. ButG1161 one thingG1520 I do: ForgettingG1950 what isG3588 behindG3694 andG1161 straining towardG1901 whatG3588 is aheadG1715, 14I press onG1377 towardG2596 the goalG4649 toG1519 win theG3588 prizeG1017 ofG3588 God’sG2316 heavenlyG507 callingG2821 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
