⁹ And this I pray, that ^(A)your love may overflow still more and more in ^(B)real knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ so that you may ^[a](C)discover the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and blameless for ^(D)the day of Christ; ¹¹ having been filled with the ^(E)fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.

¹⁹ for I know that this will turn out for my ^[a]deliverance ^(A)through your ^[b]prayers and the provision of ^(B)the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

^4 (A)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

⁸ More than that, I count all things to be loss ^[a]in view of the surpassing value of ^[b](A)knowing ^(B)Christ Jesus my Lord, ^[c]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, ⁹ and may be found in Him, not having ^(C)a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, ^(D)the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, ¹⁰ that I may ^(E)know Him and ^(F)the power of His resurrection and ^[d](G)the fellowship of His sufferings, being ^(H)conformed to His death;

⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, ^(A)whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is ^[a]lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
