4Though kI might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5lCircumcised the eighth day, mof the stock of Israel, nof the tribe of Benjamin, mnan Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, oa Pharisee; 6pConcerning zeal, qpersecuting the church; touching rthe righteousness which is in the law, sblameless. 7But twhat things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea udoubtless, and I count all things but loss for wthe excellency of xthe knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have ysuffered the loss of all things, and do count them but zdung, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not having amine own righteousness, awhich is of the law, but bthat which is through bbthe faith of Christ, athe righteousness which is of God by faith: 10That I may know him, and cthe power of his resurrection, and dthe fellowship of his sufferings, ebeing made conformable unto his death; 11If by any means I might fattain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12Not as though I had already gattained, either were already hperfect: but iI follow after, if that I may kapprehend lthat for which also I am kapprehended of Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I count not myself to have kapprehended: but this one thing I do, mforgetting those things which are behind, and nreaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I inpress otoward the mark for pthe prize of qthe high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
