Philippians 3:5-14 - Righteousness Through Christ
5 in circumcision the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 in reference to zeal, persecuting the church, according to righteousness which was in the law being blameless.
7 Those things which were gained to me, these I counted loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Yes truly, I even counted all things loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I suffer the loss of all things, and I consider them but excrements, that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God through faith: 10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if perchance I may attain unto the resurrection which is out from the dead.
12 Not that I already received it, or have already been made perfect: but I persevere, if I may receive that for which I have indeed been received by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not consider that I have yet received it; 14 but there is one thing, indeed forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those which are before, I press toward the goal unto the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
