    9 And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

    10 That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;

    11 If in any way I may have the reward of life from the dead.

    14 I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
