Philippians 3:6-9

Goodspeed(i) 6 as to my zeal, I was a persecutor of the church; and by the Law's standard of uprightness, no fault could be found with me. 7 But for the sake of Christ I have come to count my former gains as loss. 8 Why, I count everything as loss compared with the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything, and think it rubbish, in order to gain Christ 9 and be known to be united to him, with any uprightness I may have not based on law but coming through faith in Christ—the uprightness that comes from God through faith.
