Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ in point of ardour a persecutor of the church, immaculate by the standard of legal righteousness. ⁷ But for Christ's sake I have learned to count my former gains a loss; ⁸ indeed I count anything a loss, compared to the supreme value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything (I count it all the veriest refuse) in order to gain Christ ⁹ and be found at death in him, possessing no legal righteousness of my own but the righteousness of faith in Christ, the divine righteousness that rests on faith.
