THAT YOU MAY KNOW HIM!

But what things were gain to me, those I 

counted loss for Christ.  Yea doubtless, 

and I count all things but loss for the 

excellency of the knowledge of Christ 

Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered 

the loss of all things, and do count 

them but dung, that I may win Christ,

And be found in him, not having mine 

own righteousness, which is of the law, 

but that which is through the faith of 

Christ, the righteousness which is of 

God by faith:  That I may know him, 

and the power of his resurrection, and 

the fellowship of his sufferings, being 

made conformable unto his death;

If by any means I might attain 

unto the resurrection of the dead.

Not as though I had already attained, 

either were already perfect: but I follow 

after, if that I may apprehend that for 

which also I am apprehended of 

Christ Jesus.  Brethren, I count not 

myself to have apprehended: but this one 

thing I do, forgetting those things which 

are behind, and reaching forth unto those 

things which are before, I press toward 

the mark for the prize of the high 

calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:7-14
