Philippians 3:7-14

7but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

8But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

9and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of 1God through faith,

10to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

11if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.

12Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].

13Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

14I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of 2God in Christ Jesus.
