Philippians 37-10

• But what things were gain to me, those i counted
  loss for christ. yea doubtless, and i count all
  things but loss for the excellency of the
  knowledge of christ jesus my lord for whom i
  have suffered the loss of all things, and do
  count them but dung, that i may win christ, and
  be found in him, not having mine own
  righteousness, which is of the law, but that
  which is through the faith of christ, the
  righteousness which is of god by faith that i
  may know him, and the power of his resurrection,
  and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
  conformable unto his death
