I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons

loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the

surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and 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.

I want to know Christ, yes, to know the power of His resurrection and participation

in His sufferings,

becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
