More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,

and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

Not that I have already grasped it all or have already become perfect, but I press on if I may also take hold of that for which I was even taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I weep, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ,

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
