Philippians 3:9-16

9and may be found in Him, not having 1a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, 2the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10that I may 3know Him and 4the power of His resurrection and 56the fellowship of His sufferings, being 7conformed to His death; 118in order that I may 9attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12Not that I have already 10obtained it or have already 11become perfect, but I press on 12so that I may 13lay hold of that 14for which also I 15was laid hold of by 16Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: 17forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14I 18press on toward the goal for the prize of the 19upward call of God in 20Christ Jesus. 15Let us therefore, as many as are 2122perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a 23different attitude, 24God will reveal that also to you; 16however, let us keep 2526living by that same standard to which we have attained.
