8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss afor the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ
9 and be found in Him, not having amy own righteousness, which is from the law, but bthat which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
