⁷ But ^(A)what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. ⁸ Yet indeed I also count all things loss ^(B)for 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 ⁹ and be found in Him, not having ^(C)my own righteousness, which is from the law, but ^(D)that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; ¹⁰ that I may know Him and the ^(E)power of His resurrection, and ^(F)the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, ¹¹ if, by any means, I may ^(G)attain^[a] to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing Toward the Goal

¹² Not that I have already ^(H)attained,^[b] or am already ^(I)perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. ¹³ Brethren, I do not count myself to have ^[c]apprehended; but one thing I do, ^(J)forgetting those things which are behind and ^(K)reaching forward to those things which are ahead, ^14 (L)I press toward the goal for the prize of ^(M)the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
