Philippians 3:4-10

English Standard Version

^4 (A)though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: ^5 (B)circumcised on the eighth day, ^(C)of the people of Israel, ^(D)of the tribe of Benjamin, ^(E)a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, ^(F)a Pharisee; ^6 (G)as to zeal, ^(H)a persecutor of the church; ^(I)as to righteousness under the law,^[a] blameless. ⁷ But ^(J)whatever gain I had, ^(K)I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ Indeed, I count everything as loss because of ^(L)the surpassing worth of ^(M)knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I ^(N)have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in him, not having ^(O)a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but ^(P)that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— ^10 (Q)that I may know him and ^(R)the power of his resurrection, and ^(S)may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
