[7] Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. [8] Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ, [9] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of 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, becoming conformed unto his death; [11] if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead. [12] Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. [13] Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. [14] I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
