Philippians 3:9-16

9and may be foundG2147 in Him, not havingG2192 1a righteousnessG1343 of my ownG1699 derivedG1537 from the LawG3551, but that which is throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547, 2the righteousnessG1343 which comes from GodG2316 on the basisG1909 of faithG4102, 10that I may 3knowG1097 Him and 4the powerG1411 of His resurrectionG386 and 56the fellowshipG2842 of His sufferingsG3804, being 7conformedG4832 to His deathG2288; 11ifG1487 somehowG4458 I may 8attainG2658 to the resurrectionG1815 from the deadG3498.

12Not that I have alreadyG2235 910graspedG2983 it all orG2228 have alreadyG2235 11become perfectG5048, but I pressG1377 onG1377 ifG1487 I may alsoG2532 12takeG2638 holdG2638 ofG2638 that 13for whichG3739 I 14was evenG2532 takenG2638 holdG2638 ofG2638 by 15ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 13BrothersG80 and sisters, I do not regardG3049 myselfG1683 as having takenG2638 holdG2638 ofG2638 it yet; but oneG1520 thingG1520 I do: 16forgettingG1950 what lies behindG3694 and reachingG1901 forwardG1901 to what lies aheadG1715, 14I 17pressG1377 onG1377 towardG1519 the goalG4649 for the prizeG1017 of the 18upwardG507 callG2821 of GodG2316 in 19ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 15ThereforeG3767, allG3745 whoG3745 are 2021matureG5046, let’s haveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426; and ifG1487 in anythingG5100 you haveG5426 a 22differentG2088 attitudeG5426, 23GodG2316 will revealG601 that to you asG2532 wellG2532; 16howeverG4133, let’s keep 2425livingG4748 by that sameG846 standard to whichG3739 we have attainedG5348.
