Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
But I Count All Such Things As Loss That I May Know Christ And His Power
7 But what things were gains to me, these I have regarded to be a loss for the sake of Christ. 8 But more than that, I am indeed regarding all things to be a loss for the sake of the surpassing greatness of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of Whom I suffered-loss-of all things and am regarding them as garbage in order that I might gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the Law but the one through faith[a] in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith— 10 that I might know Him and the power of His resurrection and the partnership[b] of His sufferings, being conformed to His death 11 if somehow[c] I might attain to [the power of] the resurrection-out from the dead.
