Philippians 3

The True Righteousness
1#Php 4:4; 1Th 5:16Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and it is reassuring for you. 2#2Co 11:13; Gal 5:15Watch out for dogs, watch out for evil workers, watch out for those who practice mutilation. 3#Col 2:11; Jude 1:20For we are the circumcision who worship God in the Spirit, and boast in Christ Jesus, and place no trust in the flesh, 4though I also have confidence in the flesh.
If any other man thinks that he has reason to trust in the flesh, I have more: 5#2Co 11:22; Ro 11:1; Ac 23:6I was circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, and a Hebrew of Hebrews; as concerning the law, a Pharisee; 6#Ac 8:3; 22:3–4concerning zeal, persecuting the church; and concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7#Lk 14:33But what things were gain to me, I have counted these things to be loss for the sake of Christ. 8#Jn 17:3; 2Pe 1:3Yes, certainly, I count everything as loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have forfeited the loss of all things and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ, 9#1Co 1:30; Php 3:6; Isa 53:11and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ,#Or through the faith of Christ. the righteousness which is of God on the basis of faith, 10#Ro 8:17; 8:29to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11#Ac 26:7if somehow I might make it to the resurrection of the dead.
Pressing Toward the Mark
12#1Co 13:10; 1Ti 6:19Not that I have already attained or have already been perfected, but I follow after it so that I may lay hold of that for which I was seized by Christ Jesus. 13#Lk 9:62; Ps 45:10Brothers, I do not count myself to have attained, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14#Heb 3:1; 1Pe 5:10I press toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15#1Co 2:6; Gal 5:10Therefore let those of us who are mature be thus minded. And if you think differently in any way, God will reveal even this to you. 16#Gal 6:16Nevertheless, according to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
17#1Co 4:16; 1Pe 5:3Brothers, become fellow imitators with me and observe those who walk according to our example. 18#Gal 6:12For many are walking in such a way that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ. I have told you of them often and tell you again, even weeping. 19#Ro 16:18; 2Pe 2:3Their destination is destruction, their god is their appetite, their glory is in their shame, their minds are set on earthly things. 20#Eph 2:19; 1Co 1:7; Ac 1:11But our citizenship is in heaven, from where also we await for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21#Col 3:4who will transform our body of humiliation, so that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working of His power even to subdue all things to Himself.
