Philippians 3:7-11

But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ. Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might gain Christ. I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him. I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in his death, so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
