Philippians 3:5-14 - Righteousness Through Christ

⁵ Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, - regarding law, a Pharisee, ⁶ Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless.

⁷ But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ's sake, loss; ⁸ Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win, ⁹ And be found in him - not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, - ¹⁰ To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death, - ¹¹ If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead:

¹² Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on - if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ Jesus: - ¹³ Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however, - the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out, ¹⁴ With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
