Philippians 3:8-9
New American Standard Bible
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,

I’ve dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him. I didn’t want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ—God’s righteousness.

8 Y aún más, yo estimo como pérdida todas las cosas en vista del incomparable valor de conocer a[a] Cristo Jesús(A), mi Señor. Por Él lo he perdido todo, y lo considero como basura a fin de ganar a Cristo, 9 y ser hallado en Él, no teniendo mi propia justicia derivada de la ley(B), sino la que es por la fe en Cristo[b], la justicia que procede de Dios sobre la base de la fe(C),
