Philippians 3:7-11
World English Bible
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ. 8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, 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 to his death, 11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Philippians 3:7-11
Christian Standard Bible
7 But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. 8 More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value(A) of knowing Christ(B) Jesus my Lord. Because of him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them as dung, so that I may gain Christ(C) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law,(D) but one that is through faith in Christ[a]—the righteousness from God based on faith.(E) 10 My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings,(F) being conformed to his death,(G) 11 assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.
