Philippians 3:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Righteousness from God. 7 [But] whatever gains I had, these I have come to consider a loss[a] because of Christ.(A) 8 More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in Christ,(B) the righteousness from God, depending on faith
