That I may know Him

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the
surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I
may gain Christ,


and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived
from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the
righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,


That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the
fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order
that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.


Philippians 3:8-11 NASB

and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight,
declares the LORD."
