    22Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful labor for me. Yet I do not know what I shall choose.

    24but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

    25Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

    26so that because of my coming to you again, your boasting in Christ Jesus may abound.

    27Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel.

    7But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss because of Christ.

    8Indeed, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake, I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them garbage, in order that I may gain Christ,

    9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

    10I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

    11and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

    12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
