Philippians 3:7-11

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

⁷ But _a whatever gain I had, _b I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ Indeed, I count everything as loss because of _c the surpassing worth of _d knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I _e have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in him, not having _f a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but _g that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith - ¹⁰ _h that I may know him and _i the power of his resurrection, and _j may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ that by any means possible I may _k attain the resurrection from the dead.
