Philippians 3:7-21

7But 1whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8More than that, I count all things to be loss 2in view of the surpassing value of 34knowing 5Christ Jesus my Lord, 6for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9and may be found in Him, not having 7a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, 8the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10that I may 9know Him and 10the power of His resurrection and 1112the fellowship of His sufferings, being 13conformed to His death; 1114in order that I may 15attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12Not that I have already 16obtained it or have already 17become perfect, but I press on 18so that I may 19lay hold of that 20for which also I 21was laid hold of by 22Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: 23forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14I 24press on toward the goal for the prize of the 25upward call of God in 26Christ Jesus. 15Let us therefore, as many as are 2728perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a 29different attitude, 30God will reveal that also to you; 16however, let us keep 3132living by that same standard to which we have attained.

17Brethren, 33join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the 34pattern you have in us. 18For 35many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even 36weeping, that they are enemies of 37the cross of Christ, 19whose end is destruction, whose god is their 3839appetite, and whose 40glory is in their shame, who 41set their minds on earthly things. 20For 42our 43citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly 44wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21who will 45transform 46the body of our humble state into 47conformity with 48the 49body of His glory, 50by the exertion of the power that He has even to 51subject all things to Himself.
