Philippians 3:4–14

⁴though ^gI also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I ^hmore so: ⁵circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, ⁱof the tribe of Benjamin, ^ja Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, ^ka Pharisee; ⁶concerning zeal, ^lpersecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

⁷But ^mwhat things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. ⁸Yet indeed I also count all things loss ⁿfor the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ ⁹and be found in Him, not having ^omy own righteousness, which is from the law, but ^pthat which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; ¹⁰that I may know Him and the ^qpower of His resurrection, and ^rthe fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, ¹¹if, by any means, I may ^sattain ²to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing Toward the Goal

¹²Not that I have already ^tattained, ³ or am already ^uperfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. ¹³Brethren, I do not count myself to have ⁴apprehended; but one thing I do, ^vforgetting those things which are behind and ^wreaching forward to those things which are ahead, ^14xI press toward the goal for the prize of ^ythe upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
