Philippians 3~
7 But what things were gain to me,
these I have counted loss for Christ.
8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss
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 my
own righteousness, which is from the law,
but that which is through faith in Christ,
the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 that I may know Him and the power of
His resurrection, and the fellowship of His
sufferings, being conformed to His death,
11 if, by any means, I may attain to the
resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that
I have already attained, or am already 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
apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting
those things which are behind and reaching
forward to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of
the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature,
have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise,
God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless,
to the degree that we have already attained,
let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note
those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.
18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often,
and now tell you even weeping, that they are the
enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is
destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose
glory is in their shame--who set their mind on
earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven,
from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our
lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body,
according to the working by which He is able even to
subdue all things to Himself.
NKJV
