Philippians 3:9

Righteousness Through Christ

And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him, ⁹ not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ--the righteousness which comes from God through faith. ¹⁰ I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;
