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

    8More 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,

    9and 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.

    10My 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,

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

    13Brothers 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,

    24Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win.

    25Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.

    26So I do not run uncertainly or box like one who hits only air.

    27Instead I subdue my body and make it my slave, so that after preaching to others I myself will not be disqualified.
