KNOWING CHRIST

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ & 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 & is by faith.
I want to know Christ & the power of his resurrection & the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, & so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Philippians 3:7-11
