Philippians 3:7-9

7But fwhatever gain I had, gI counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of hthe surpassing worth of iknowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I jhave suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having ka righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but lthat which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith
