    7 But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ.

    8 More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things– indeed, I regard them as dung!– that I may gain Christ,

    9 and be found in him, not because I have my own righteousness derived from the law, but because I have the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulness– a righteousness from God that is in fact based on Christ’s faithfulness.

    10 My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death,

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

    12 Keep Going Forward Not that I have already attained this– that is, I have not already been perfected– but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.

    13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,

    14 with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
