Selected passage

3:6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

3:7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

3:8Yea 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,

3:9And 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:

3:10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

3:15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

3:16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
