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; 11if somehow I may 8attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12Not that I have already 910grasped it all or have already 11become perfect, but I press on if I may also 12take hold of that 13for which I 14was even taken hold of by 15Christ Jesus. 13Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: 16forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14I 17press on toward the goal for the prize of the 18upward call of God in 19Christ Jesus. 15Therefore, all who are 2021mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a 22different attitude, 23God will reveal that to you as well; 16however, let’s keep 2425living by that same standard to which we have attained.
