Philippians 3:4-14

4Though I have [my] trustG3982 evenG2532 in fleshG4561; if any otherG243 thinkG1380 to trustG3982 in fleshG4561, I ratherG3123:

5as to circumcisionG4061, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] raceG1085 of IsraelG2474, of [the] tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, HebrewG1445 of HebrewsG1445; as to [the] lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330;

6as to zealG2205, persecutingG1377 the assemblyG1577; as to righteousnessG1343 which [is] in [the] lawG3551, found blamelessG273;

7but what thingsG3778 wereG1510 gainG2771 to me these I counted, on accountG1223 of ChristG5547, lossG2209.

8But surely I count alsoG2532 all thingsG3956 to beG1510 lossG2209 on accountG1223 of the excellency of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 my LordG2962, on accountG1223 of whom I have sufferedG2210 the lossG2209 of all, and count them to beG1510 filth, that I may gainG2770 ChristG5547;

9and that I may be foundG2147 in him, not having my righteousnessG1343, which [would be] on the principleG3551 of lawG3551, but that which is by faithG4102 of ChristG5547, the righteousnessG1343 which [is] of 1GodG2316 through faithG4102,

10to knowG1097 him, and the powerG1411 of his resurrectionG386, and the fellowshipG2842 of his sufferings, being conformed to his deathG2288,

11if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] deadG3498.

12Not that I have alreadyG2235 obtained [the prize], or am alreadyG2235 perfectedG5048; but I pursueG1377, if alsoG2532 I may get possession [of it], seeing that alsoG2532 I have been takenG2983 possession of by ChristG5547 [JesusG2424].

13Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but oneG1520 thingG1520 — forgettingG1950 the things behind, and stretching out to the things beforeG1715,

14I pursueG1377, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prizeG1017 of the callingG2821 on high of 2GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
