Philippians 3:7-15

7But 1whateverG3748 thingsG3748 were gainG2771 to me, theseG3778 thingsG3778 I have countedG2233 as lossG2209 becauseG1223 of ChristG5547. 8MoreG3304 thanG3304 that, I countG2233 allG3956 thingsG3956 to be lossG2209 2inG1223 viewG1223 ofG1223 the surpassingG5242 valueG5242 of 34knowingG1108 5ChristG5547 JesusG2424 my LordG2962, 6for whomG3739 I have sufferedG2210 the lossG2210 of allG3956 thingsG3956, and countG2233 them mere rubbishG4657, soG2443 thatG2443 I may gainG2770 ChristG5547, 9and may be foundG2147 in Him, not havingG2192 7a righteousnessG1343 of my ownG1699 derivedG1537 from the LawG3551, but that which is throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547, 8the righteousnessG1343 which comes from GodG2316 on the basisG1909 of faithG4102, 10that I may 9knowG1097 Him and 10the powerG1411 of His resurrectionG386 and 1112the fellowshipG2842 of His sufferingsG3804, being 13conformedG4832 to His deathG2288; 11ifG1487 somehowG4458 I may 14attainG2658 to the resurrectionG1815 from the deadG3498.

12Not that I have alreadyG2235 1516graspedG2983 it all orG2228 have alreadyG2235 17become perfectG5048, but I pressG1377 onG1377 ifG1487 I may alsoG2532 18takeG2638 holdG2638 ofG2638 that 19for whichG3739 I 20was evenG2532 takenG2638 holdG2638 ofG2638 by 21ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 13BrothersG80 and sisters, I do not regardG3049 myselfG1683 as having takenG2638 holdG2638 ofG2638 it yet; but oneG1520 thingG1520 I do: 22forgettingG1950 what lies behindG3694 and reachingG1901 forwardG1901 to what lies aheadG1715, 14I 23pressG1377 onG1377 towardG1519 the goalG4649 for the prizeG1017 of the 24upwardG507 callG2821 of GodG2316 in 25ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 15ThereforeG3767, allG3745 whoG3745 are 2627matureG5046, let’s haveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426; and ifG1487 in anythingG5100 you haveG5426 a 28differentG2088 attitudeG5426, 29GodG2316 will revealG601 that to you asG2532 wellG2532;
