Philippians 3:8-14

English Standard Version

⁸ Indeed, I count everything as loss because of ^(A)the surpassing worth of ^(B)knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I ^(C)have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in him, not having ^(D)a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but ^(E)that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— ^10 (F)that I may know him and ^(G)the power of his resurrection, and ^(H)may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ that by any means possible I may ^(I)attain the resurrection from the dead.

Straining Toward the Goal

¹² Not that I have already ^(J)obtained this or ^(K)am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: ^(L)forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for ^(M)the prize of the upward ^(N)call of God in Christ Jesus.
